iFuse allows you to mount an iPhone or iPod Touch under Linux using the USB cable. You can view and edit the files similar to a normal USB disk drive. iFuse does not require “jailbreaking” or voiding your warranty and works without needing extra software installed on the phone (such as `ssh`).
libiphone is a software library that talks the native Apple USB protocols that the iPhone uses. Unlike other projects, `libiphone` does not depends on using any existing `.dll` or `.so` libraries from Apple.
iFuse is a FUSE filesystem driver which uses `libiphone` to connect to devices without jailbreak. iFuse is using the native Apple “AFC” protocol, over the normal USB cable in order to access the iPhone’s (or iPod Touch’s) media files under Linux.
Once the iPhone is mounted, you can copy on, or copy off any media files that live inside the `/var/root/Media` chroot directory. This includes photographs and music files.
