Do you have an iOS device? How to get it to xfer screenshots to Windows 10 easily without that iTunes abomination?

Sigh. http://i.cubeupload.com/XLmc84.jpg There are no usable error messages so I don't even know how to troubleshoot. Well, I solved that connectivity problem above simply by rebooting Windows and rebooting the iPad, where I'm pretty sure it was Windows that screwed up. That's one thing about Windows networking that I've learned over the years using FTP servers and FTP URIs in the network neighborhood. Windows is flaky as hell. It works. Then it stops working. You reboot. And it works again. Flaky as hell is Windows networking. Sigh. Anyway, once I rebooted Windows, File Explorer connected without me changing anything on File Explorer and your suggestion of moving over a picture from File Explorer to Windows shared folders worked perfectly. I can't see into any of the "dollar" folders (e.g., C$, D$, etc.) but I can see easily into the "Users" folder, so that's likely because it's the only place anything is shared, by default. So I created this directory on Windows and shared it as "share": C:\data\ipad\share\ http://i.cubeupload.com/d5gzyV.jpg Where the upload from iOS to that share worked fine: http://i.cubeupload.com/3mJnSz.jpg This share location should allow two-way sharing over WiFi, which is perfect - but I still haven't seen the answer whether this is SMB or not (did I miss it?). This is the result on Windows - but I have to test if it works with Linux: http://i.cubeupload.com/gp8laa.jpg Do you know if Linux can handle these types of URIs? \\DESKTOP\share I've got three win 10 desktops here, since the latest update 1709, they see each other fine. Before that, one of them was a pain. If it was not the first to be booted one of the others could never see it. Windows networking and flaky certainly go together, just like gin and tonic :-) I have given up on Linux. I tried many distros, the one I like most was Solydk https://solydxk.com/ I could always get Linux to see the windows network but never get windows to see Linux. Perhaps not a big deal but it would have been nice. Someone with more Linux experience maybe able to help you more with your question. Have you tried Solaris? |

Let's continue the adult discourse and get back on topic so that everyone benefits from our efforts, where today I tested SMB between the iOS device and both Linux and Windows, where it worked well once I started getting used to the SMB syntax on both platforms. For example, I used the iOS freeware WiFi HD for an SMB server share at: smb://f192.168.1.7/Documents On Linux, I used smbclient to "put" a couple of text files onto that sha http://i.cubeupload.com/TaDDnM.jpg On Windows, I used the "net use" command to "mount" that share on Windows: net use X: \\192.168.1.7\Documents http://i.cubeupload.com/7irVKa.jpg I guess since there are so many methods which are just working, I wonder if you Windows experts know which is better overall, in the long term, FTP, HTTP, or SMB? I suspect HTTP is the worst, so, that only leaves "mounting" by FTP or SMB. As I know Windows FTP "mounting" to be flaky, I suspect maybe SMB is better? Do you have experience with FTP versus SMB "mounting" of file systems? Overall, which is better to spend energy on getting to work seamlessly? |

Do you have an iOS device? How to get it to xfer screenshots to Windows 10 easily without that iTunes abomination?
In article news
Do you have an iOS device connected to Windows such that you can easily transfer files over WiFi or USB without adding /anything/ to Windows (like we do with Android)? I found another way today, although it's just a more direct use of the previously defined SMB, FTP, and HTTP servers and clients on iOS. My task was to copy a few feature-length films from Windows to iOS to play inside of VLC. 1. I started VLC freeware on iOS & pressed the traffic cone "settings" 2. I tapped the "Local Network" switch and then "Connect to Server" 3. That starts either an SMB, FTP, or something called a "Plex" server |

I wish USB file transfer without the iTunes abomination was two way, where I know it used to be two-way on Linux to the iPad in the past, so, I would like to ask if other Windows users have two-way USB file transfer from Windows to the iPad? Do you have two-way USB file transfer between Windows and your iOS device? If so... What's the secret for two-way file transfer over USB sans the iTunes abomination? |

I just picked up a new 128GB Wi-Fi iPad from Costco for $300. http://i.cubeupload.com/WNbbxt.jpg Here is a summary of the excellent progress to date, with a couple of open questions at the end with respect to the original question of sliding large files back and forth between iOS and Windows 10 without needing to install anything on Windows 10 and using only a single freeware app on iOS. I found a few other methods, e.g., something called PLEX, where, overall, I've tested the following USB & WiFi methods of moving large files back and forth between the latest Windows (1709) & the latest iOS (11.2.6). This is a summary of the status of each method on Windows: 1. USB (unknown why it only works one way on Windows, from iOS to desktop) 2. iOS FTP server (works both ways in File Explorer between iOS & Windows) 3. iOS HTTP server (works both ways in a web browser between iOS & Windows) 4. iOS Bluetooth (should work on Windows but I don't have BT or WiFi cards) 5. iOS SMB server (works both ways between iOS & Windows) 6. iOS SMB client (works both ways between iOS & Windows) 7. iOS VLC app (works both ways - perhaps it's just HTTP or WebDAV?) 8. Desktop command-line app (e.g., curl, wget, etc.) I haven't tried 'wget' or 'curl', but they should work on the HTTP servers. The VLC app may or may not be in its own category as it might just be a normal HTTP server, or, maybe it uses WebDAV? I don't know, but it also works so I listed it as a 7th method for sliding large files both ways between Linux and iOS that works without any additional software on the desktop: http://i.cubeupload.com/KeEgLb.jpg Open questions on Windows: Q: What's the trick to getting USB transfer to be both ways with Windows?

It is not /nothing/. Ie, the distributions designers decided to put that onto the desktop. Whether they decide to or not is just luck as far as you are concerned. And istalling is trivial on Linux at least. They are in the installation medium. I appreciate your help and advice where I have achieved success, in part, since we last conversed earlier today. http://i.cubeupload.com/9NqTaE.jpg All your objections on my conditions of additional software are both fair & correct that "something" (usually a client or, less often a server, and in this case, a driver and debugger) needs to be "on" the desktop in order to establish two-way file transfer to the iOS (or Android or Windows for that matter) device. Again - my reasons for mentioning the desire for not installing proprietary software on the desktop was mainly to forestall useless suggestions of horrid solutions which often entail Wine + iTunes. To that end, I've already installed & configured the Samba server & smbclient on Linux, and just now successfully updated the iOS drivers & debugging tools for Linux, namely the libimobiledevice & ifuse & idevicepair packages from http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ It's true though for SMB, since Samba isn't on the desktop by default, so I already installed Samba. The main goal of stating no proprietary software on the desktop is to forestall anyone suggesting Wine + iTunes which is just an abomination on top of an abomination. Proprietary? Nothing on the linux end is proprietary. IOs I cannot say. Again, your objections to my words are fair and correct, where what is needed on the desktop is the "typical" software one would use to interface by both USB & WiFi (and Bluetooth, if I had a BT card) between the iOS device and the Linux desktop. To that end, these commands were successfully run today: https://askubuntu.com/questions/8354...device-problem For the http://tinyurl.com/alt-os-linux tribal-knowledge archives, so that others might benefit, this sequence of commands successfully updated the default libimobiledevice & ifuse drivers & added the idevicepair debugger to my otherwise stock Ubuntu 17.10 setup: $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade $ sudo apt install libimobiledevice-utils $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:martin-salbaba/ppa+libimobiledevice & sudo apt install libimobiledevice-utils libimobiledevice-utils is already the newest version (1.2.0+dfsg-3.1ubuntu3). $ sudo apt install libimobiledevice-utils ifuse ifuse is already the newest version (1.1.2-0.1build3). libimobiledevice-utils is already the newest version (1.2.0+dfsg-3.1ubuntu3). Once I ran those commands above, I was able to slide huge movie files back and forth over USB between the Linux desktop and the private space inside the free VLC movie player app on the iOS device. As I said the logs are your friend. and run mount with verbose option. Or try smb-mount Or /sbin/mount.smb* Thanks for that additional advice. My initial goal was solved with the update of libimobiledevice drivers plus the addition of ifuse and idevicepair software. I think that the ifuse will help a lot with "mounting" but since I'm a noob with respect to mounting, I will do some more research first. What's interesting though, with respect to "pairing" (whatever that means) over USB, this newly installed "idevicepair" command revealed some very useful information about the iOS device: With the iOS device plugged into the desktop USB port, I ran: ideviceinfo -d No device found, is it plugged in? Hmmmmmm.... I removed the connection and plugged it into a /different/ USB port and then I heard the familiar tone of "pairing" & the "trust this device?" query on the iPad, where I ran the command again with different results.

Namely, I need to learn how to "mount" the SMB shares (which I didn't tackle today but which I will tackle anew. I haven't tried the new "ifuse" app which was installed today, so I'll start with that package first. ================================ cut here ============================= |

Paul wrote:
The Linux code is Open Source. You have some layers that complete the protocol stack. Hi Paul, Thanks for helping out with advice because I'm pretty much out of my element on Windows for mounting an iOS device over USB. On Linux, there's a lot more hits on the net, such that making three mount points of the iOS device over USB (two of which are two way) was successful: https://cubeupload.com/im/J98DE4.jpg But I'm out of my element on Windows where I'm reduced to googling and then testing whatever I find, but I never seem to find exactly what I'm looking for, which is: Q: How to mount the 3 iOS mount points on Windows 10? A: ? The missing bit, is "iFuse" will need to be reworked to be a Windows IFS (Installable File System). A couple of those were written for EXT file systems, the first one probably wasn't open source code (it also had limited support for EXT, like only worked with the first version of EXT1). I'm confused about what you just said, but what I think you're telling me is that I need a mounter app for Windows that does what "ifuse" did for Linux, and that they might exist on Windows by now. You can add file systems to Windows via the IFS mechanism. I didn't realize I was "adding a file system" but if that's the same thing as "mounting" a device, then I'm ok with that concept. Android seems to "mount" just fine, for example. So it's only iOS that I would want to mount those three mount points. BTW, there is a fantastic debugger command "" which gives so much gory detail on what's happening on the iOS device that it's not funny. https://cubeupload.com/im/jSSQur.jpg You could also make a "dual pane FTP agent" dialog box, and skip all the features of an IFS. You don't have to do an IFS, if you don't want to. But, it won't be as convenient. I don't know what you mean by a dual-pane FTP agent, but I do agree that, especially with Android, I can "Add a network location" of "ftp://192.168.1.10:2121" (where 192.168.1.10 is the mobile device) which allows two way transfer on iOS and Android (easier on Android, of course). But in any case, you have ingredients and few impediments to building a similar solution on the Windows side. Good luck Mr. Coder. My first coding language was Fortran before Fortran 77 even existed, and I've done assembly language for both DOS (when it first came out) and the IBM 370 well before that. But I haven't coded in decades, so I do not consider myself a coder (never liked it - I just string shell commands together nowadays). I prefer the GUI, which is how I slid this screenshot file into the Camera DCIM directory to prove it was a two-way mount over USB: https://cubeupload.com/im/sn7VVE.jpg Since you have a working Linux way, you can use 1) VirtualBox 2) VirtualBox USB Passthru (done at the packet level). Select the VID and PID of the USB device in the VirtualBox setup panel, and now Windows ignores it when VirtualBox is running. 3) Install the Linux setup you concocted as a Guest OS. 4) Files transfer from iPad to file system in Linux Guest. 5) Use file sharing, to transfer the movie folder in Linux into a Windows share. 6) Done. For you, it's a trade-off of "fancy" versus "zero labor". I am familiar with VirtualBox and have used it in the recent past, but once I boot to Linux, everything (now) works as I want it to. So really, it's just Windows that I want to work, all by itself, with the mobile devices over USB and Wi-Fi. It seems, from your advice, it won't be so easily done to get the three mount points of iOS devices on Windows so maybe I should just concentrate on getting the SMB mount points to show up on Windows. On iOS (and Android, and Linux), it's easy to install a free SMB server and SMB client (I've done that already for iOS and Linux), so, all I really need to do is figure out what the syntax is to mount these automatically. C: net use X: \\192.168.1.10\Documents The disadvantage of SMB mount points though is that it's all over WiFi, which is really (really) slow compared to the USB transfers I just did on Linux. |

I didn't realize I was "adding a file system" but if that's the same thing as "mounting" a device, then I'm ok with that concept. Linux has two flavors of file system mounting. Well known, well tested ones, are placed in the kernel, in Ring0. However, a lot of file systems, started as Ring3 prototypes, which can be started as if they were applications. When run as root, they allow file system mounting, for "foreign" file systems. Using such a mechanism, I could probably mount HFSPLUS for example. At one time, the two Apple desktop standards, were reduced to crummy little command line utilities, with limited capability. Now, they're in much better shape. So when you say the word "iFUSE" to me, I parse that it two parts. i = some sorta iOS thing FUSE = A ring3 mounting scheme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace The Windows IFS is a similar sort of mechanism. A person with an iFUSE source code in hand, knows how to parse some block device and make sense of it. You would transfer that part of the info, into an IFS implementation on Windows. What this notion of "stuffing" foreign file systems into an OS entails, is "faking" the info for a stat() call. For example, Linux has a value called inode number. NTFS just happens to have an identifier called Filenum#. Now, if you're writing a file system for Linux, you stuff the "filenum#" value into the "inode" call, and Linux goes away happy. It never needed the inode value in the first place (because NTFS doesn't have inode), but, if any application software comes calling and runs stat() on a file, you must produce a value. And perhaps, the value cannot "collide" with any existing value. The NTFS filenum# is guaranteed to be unique (per file). ******* Someone could "port" what was done for Linux, to Windows, but... will they ? Will they charge money for it ? There aren't really a lot of IFS implementations, which suggests this is a moderately difficult topic. Mind you, there might not have been a lot of usage cases either. After you do one for EXTn, all that's left is doing one for a FreeBSD disk :-) Ugh. Paul |

Hi Paul, Thanks for your help as seamless file transfer over WiFi and USB without the restrictive iTunes abomination is something anyone with an iOS device and Windows would want to do. Based on your excellent advice and patient explanations, I've put trying to get the three iOS mount points to work on Windows on the back burner. Instead, I'm first going to document for the tribal-knowledge archives what works best on Windows, where we already have both iOS HTTP & iOS FTP servers working fine - so I'll document below how I enabled the freeware iOS SMB server to play nice with Windows over WiFi. 1. On iOS, I started the freeware app "WiFi HD" and selected the "Documents" tab in that freeware and turned it on, which gave me a server address of smb://192.168.1.9 for that iOS device. https://cubeupload.com/im/NXeNxF.jpg 2. On Windows 10 Pro, I added the following "network location": Network Location = \\192.168.1.9\Documents Windows-generated Name = Documents (192.168.1.9 (NQ CIFS Server)) https://cubeupload.com/im/WA2Y6W.jpg 2. On Windows 10 Pro, that iOS smb://192.168.1.9/Documents share opened up automatically https://cubeupload.com/im/mKpXx6.jpg where I right clicked and created an empty text file on that iOS SMB share where the file was named "jollyroger.txt". https://cubeupload.com/im/jnKOmG.jpg And then I doubleclicked on that iOS file from Windows to add content: https://cubeupload.com/im/TXpVdE.jpg 3. Immediately, that file showed up in iOS when I refreshed WiFi HD: https://cubeupload.com/im/CsJC3i.jpg 4. That's a clear test of seamlessness, but, as an optional additional step, I decided to add to that text file from the Windows cmd line, but Windows doesn't recognize SMB addresses at the command line. c:\ cd \\192.168.1.9\Documents '\\192.168.1.9\Documents' CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories. 5. So I "mounted" the smb share as a removable drive on Windows: c:\ net use S: \\192.168.1.9\Documents The command completed successfully. 6. I then appended to that text file from the Windows 10 command line: c:\ dir S:\jollyroger.txt https://cubeupload.com/im/tyHgah.jpg 7. To prove all this action on Winodws was being done on the iOS device, I opened the file in WiFi HD on the iOS device, which reveals both actions worked seamlessly to edit iOS file from Windows. https://cubeupload.com/im/qHAzwM.jpg 8. This file never left the iOS device, where the iOS device was being edited from Windows the entire time and where the file can now be moved on the iOS device to wherever we want to put it. https://cubeupload.com/im/4eE3p9.jpg In summary, this proves seamless integration of iOS with Windows over the SMB protocol where it was easy to edit a file on the iOS device from the Windows desktop over Wi-Fi. https://cubeupload.com/im/KlFC1J.jpg Notice the file never left the iOS device. The iOS file was created and modified from the Windows desktop over WiFi. |

UPDATE on Progress: Thanks for all the help where we only have two problems left: 1. On Windows, iOS USB connectivity stinks, but SMB connectivity is great. 2. On Linux, iOS USB connectivity is great, but SMB connectivity stinks. If we make zero further progress, then Linux is far better because USB is far faster (about 1 minute per GigaByte file transfer) but I'm 90% on Windows and only 10% on Linux so having to boot (or use VirtualBox) to Linux is a pain just to get iOS connectivity. I don't know why USB sucks so badly on Windows (nor why SMB sucks so badly on Linux), but those are the two remaining problems to be solved. In the spirit of full disclosure, for the tribal knowledge record, here's my Linux summary just posted to http://tinyurl.com/alt-os-linux ================ cut here ======================= Update. Here's a summary update of the progress of connecting iOS & Ubuntu: http://i.cubeupload.com/6PTcs1.jpg USB: Notice there is no jailbreaking involved and zero proprietary software installed on the dekstop (i.e., no iTunes) for the USB connectivity pictured above - although I did have to update Ubuntu 17.10's default ifuse & libimobiledevice drivers to the latest build. USB connectivity allows for 3 iOS file systems to be mounted: 1. One-way access to the iOS Camera DCIM folder 2. Two-way access to the well-written iOS apps' private space 3. Either one-way or two-way access to iOS folders And USB connectivity allows for some of the root systems to be viewed: 4. The iOS root syslog can be tailed in real time iOS SMB Server: After installing the freeware iOS SMB server "WiFi HD", I was able to connect to the SMB share \\iDevice\IPC$ but the WiFi HD software doesn't provide for a password so I haven't yet figured out the syntax to make the smbclient command work for the share that Windows easily connects to which I know (from Windows) to be smb://iDevice/Documents. This won't show the known share of "smb://192.168.1.9/Documents": $ smbclient -L 192.168.1.9 It asks for a password (which I don't know since the WiFi HD doesn't say anything about a password and Windows doesn't need it so I assume there is none) and then all it shows is the workgroup of WORKGROUP and the single global share of IPC$. So the main syntactical question here of Linux users is how to get smbclient to show the "smb://192.168.1.9/Documents" share, which I know to be there because Windows has no problem seeing it under the same conditions. https://cubeupload.com/im/Kzm9qk.jpg So if Windows can see the smb://192.168.1.9/Documents share, then my main question is why can't Linux see the same share? iOS SMB Client: Running a free iOS SMB client (e.g., "File Explorer"), we can connect easily to an SMB server on Windows or Linux so I won't delve into more detail in this summary. iOS FTP Server: Running a free iOS FTP server (e.g., "MyFileExplorer"), we can connect easily from Windows or Linux with an FTP client so I won't delve into more detail in this summary. IOS HTTP Server: Running a free iOS HTTP server (e.g., "MyFileExplorer"), we can connect easily from Windows or Linux with any web browser, curl, or wget, so I won't delve into more detail in this summary. Overall, once I updated the drivers, Ubuntu USB is working flawlessly (far better than USB does on Windows), but SMB is failing miserably (far worse than it did on Windows). I've scoured the net for smbclient examples and instructions where none show anything working with iOS devices that I can find useful. So my main Linux unresolved question is how to get smbclient to connect to the "smb://192.168.1.9/Documents" share that I /know/ exists because Windows has no problem connecting to it. https://cubeupload.com/im/fZlxui.jpg =================== cut there ======================= |
