I thought the mobility center available in windows 7 was going to revolutionary my life. I really thought that by striking the keys

WinKey + X

I was going to have access to all the controls that were most important to me. Turns out I have instant access to all the controls Bill Gates thought I would ever need, with no options to add my own choices such the microphone volume/gain. I can adjust my speaker volume BUT NOT THE MIC. OH THAT’S RIGHT… I’M JUST A DUMB CONSUMER WITH NO BRAINS… WHY WOULD I NEED A MIC!!!!!!
I’m SURE it can be done SOMEHOW. But no instructions are given here:

“Some tiles in Mobility Center are added by your mobile PC manufacturer” BUT NONE WILL BE ADDED BY YOU!!!!

Sit back and enjoy the show friends! Sorry to harsh your vibe. :p

Guys I may have a solution for you. I ran into this exact same problem just now.

Try SSHing into your iPhone/iPod and use the ftp client locally. In other words, SSH in as root and type “ftp localhost”. If you immediately receive an error that mentions something about /usr/share/empty, quit out of ftp (type ‘quit’) and then ‘mkdir /usr/share/empty’.

This fixed the problem for me. Apparently (after reviewing some installation guides for vsftpd), this is one of the things you should have done when you set up vsftpd (it sure would have been nice if the Cydia installer would have done this for us!!).

Hope it helps.
