INSTALLATION
================================================================================
For:
Apple iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad + iPod USB cable
You must have:
libimobiledevice
libfuse-dev (and the associated kernel modules)
libglib2.0-dev
make
autoheader
automake
autoconf
gcc
To compile run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install # (if you want to install it into your system directories)
On Ubuntu/Debian, you can do:
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf \
libfuse-dev libglib2.0-dev
(make sure that you have compiled libimobiledevice first)
USAGE
================================================================================
Now comes the fun bit!
To mount:
$ ifuse <mountpoint>
Note:
If you mount your device as regular user, system migth complain that file
/etc/fuse.conf is not readable. It means you do not belong to the 'fuse'
group (see below).
To unmount you do:
$ 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.
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.
