What is ifuse FOR LINUX?

ifuse

ifuse is a cool FUSE-based filesystem that lets you connect your iPhone or iPod Touch easily. If you've got one of those devices, you'll need an iPod USB cable to get started.

Requirements for Using ifuse

Before diving in, make sure you have the following:

libiphone

libfuse-dev (and the right kernel modules)

libglib2.0-dev

make

autoheader

automake

autoconf

How to Compile ifuse

If you're ready to install, just run these commands in your terminal:

    .\/autogen.sh

    .\/configure

    make

    sudo make install

(Note: Use this link for download!)

If You're on Ubuntu/Debian...

You can quickly install necessary packages with:

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf

libfuse-dev libglib2.0-dev

(Don't forget to compile libiphone first!)

The Fun Part: Mounting Your Device!

You can mount your device using:

ifuse < mountpoint >

A Quick Note!

If you try to mount as a regular user, you might see a message about /etc/fuse.conf not being readable. This usually means you need to join the 'fuse' group.

Unmounting Your Device

No worries! To unmount, just type:

fusermount -u < mountpoint >

The default setting allows access through the AFC protocol to '/var/root/Media/' on your iPhone. This includes music and pictures—totally safe! But if your device has been jailbroken, you might see more of the filesystem by using:

ifuse --root < mountpoint >

Caution: Only certain jailbreaks allow root access! For example, PwnageTool enables this but blackra1m does not, so be careful when accessing root files.

If you're stuck or need help, just type:

ifuse --help
