Odd, not sure why that's failing for you. You can bypass the wget command by downloading that file in Safari, then doing mount -t ios . /mnt # Pick "Downloads" from "On My iPad" in the GUI Then you can run tar xvzf /mnt/apk-tools-static-2.10.5-r1.apk When you cd to the root. Though, I suspect apk itself will fail if you can't resolve domain names. Edit: As gorkish points out, make sure iSH has network permissions first and try again with the original command.
