Open the .install file on the N800, and Application Manager will open and install it for you. If you read the .install file in a text editor you'll see that it just specifies repositories and package names. The dropbear ssh client/server and a terminal are available from maemo-hackers.org. Open the install file under "bora/it2007" at http://maemo-hackers.org/wiki/OssoXterm on your N800 and the terminal will be installed. Then in Application Manager you can install the dropbear client and server. > I did once try putting my executable onto a memory card.

I believe memory cards are mounted noexec, and are vfat anyway.

You can get to the internet from inside a scratchbox, you probably need to fix /etc/resolv.conf. It defaults to 127.0.0.1 which is wrong unless you run a local name server or cache. Memory cards are just mounted file systems, you can simulate those exactly by using a USB card reader.
