About ===== A fuse filesystem implementation to access the contents of iOS devices. Requirements ============ Development Packages of: libfuse (and the associated kernel modules) libimobiledevice libplist Software: usbmuxd make autoheader automake autoconf libtool pkg-config gcc Installation ============ To compile run: ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install Of course you could already use the tool from the src/ directory locally. Usage ===== To mount the media partition from the device: $ ifuse <mountpoint> Note: If you mount your device as regular user, the system might complain that the file /etc/fuse.conf is not readable. It means you do not belong to the 'fuse' group (see below). To unmount as a regular user you must run: $ fusermount -u <mountpoint> By default, ifuse (via the AFC protocol) gives access to the '/var/root/Media/' chroot on the device (containing music/pictures). This is the right and safe way to access the device. However, if the device has been jailbroken, a full view of the device's filesystem might be available using the following command when mounting: $ ifuse --root <mountpoint> Note that only PwnageTool and older jailbreak software installs the necessary AFC2 service on the device to enable root filesystem usage. For instance blackra1n does not install it and thus does not enable root filesystem access! Use with care as the AFC protocol was not made to access the root filesystem. If using libimobiledevice >= 1.1.0, ifuse can also be used with the iTunes file/document sharing feature. It allows you to exchange files with an application on the device directly through it's documents folder by specifing the application identifier like this: $ ifuse --documents <appid> <mountpoint> The following example mounts the documents folder of the VLC app to /mnt: $ ifuse --documents org.videolan.vlc-ios /mnt It is also possible to mount the sandboxed root folder of an application using the --container parameter: $ ifuse --container <appid> <mountpoint> If ideviceinstaller is installed, obtain the 'appid' (bundle identifier) using: $ ideviceinstaller -l Addtional help can be shown using: $ ifuse --help Setting up FUSE =============== Note that on some systems, you may have to load the 'fuse' kernel module first and to ensure that you are a member of the 'fuse' group: sudo modprobe fuse sudo adduser $USER fuse You can check your membership of the 'fuse' group with: id | grep fuse && echo yes! || echo not yet... If you have just added yourself, you will need to logout and log back in for the group change to become visible.
