Help SSH server on Galaxy Nexus?

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, I did look first...

What I want to do is transfer files over my wifi network to my (rooted) Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2. I've got puTTY and/or WinSCP on my pc.

I've tried installing both QuickSSHd and SSHDroid (not at the same time) on my phone, but I can't connect with either puTTY or WinSCP.

Weirdly, QuickSSHd thinks my ip address is: fe80::b:fc83:9601%rmnet0
I know that it's actually 192.168.1.149

I'm not sure what to try next.

I've been able to use airdroid, but I want to transfer files to the phone using a script and I don't think it'll work.

Anyone else run into these problems? Ideas?
 
Apparently, my problems are due to user error. I thought I would post my solution in case anyone else is having a similar problem.

First, I used nmap to make sure that port 22 on my device was open. It was.

Next, I took a closer look at the password setup. I messed up the keys it would seem.

I was using QuickSSHd and it would seem that you can just use a login/password setup for quick and dirty connections. Maybe you can, but I had no luck connecting until I turned on the public key encryption. Then, I was finally able to establish a connection with puTTY.

Now, I got a timeout when I tried to copy a file, but that's as far as I was able to get with it.
