Note that I've tried every way possible, where those screenshots show many
of the huge differences in how each mobile device handles file copy on PCs.

a. iOS connected to Linux works perfectly (no extra software needed)
b. Android connected to Linux or Windows works perfectly also
c. It's just iOS connected to Windows that is a horrid clusterfuck

That's the problem we can solve but it will take work because we need an
iFuse port that's working on Windows and Apple will never provide a working
solution for full two-way file transfer without restriction to the entire
visible file system which we already have for all platforms except iOS.

A few iPhone users probably have a Mac, and don't use Linux.
Really, why even stick Linux in here but exclude Mac?

Not available on Mac. Of course you could dual-boot a Mac with Linux, an
x86 Mac can run Linux or Windows too. You can run Linux as a VM on an M1
Mac using Canonical's Multipass cross-platform VM manager.

Also note that with a non-Jailbroken iOS device, using iFuse, you can
only mount the media directory. If your device is Jailbroken you can
mount the entire filesystem. See
<https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse>.

Apple has this all locked-up tight for non-Jailbroken devices, for valid
reasons.

It's a good question, where even I used to use the Mac in the days before
Microsoft Office went to hell on them (through no direct fault of Apple).

I still have a couple of those huge black tall cases!

And if you want to see a photo I'll show it as it's only on these child-like

Based on what I know of Apple products, they work well only when in the
confines of the walled garden; so yes. You should _expect_ the following:
a. Plug the iPad into a Mac over USB
b. I would expect the _entire_ visible file system to show up
c. For both read and for write

Can you tell me if that's so?

Without _any_ additional software whatsoever?
Does the _entire_ visible file system show up instantly when you connect?

For both read and write?
(A screenshot would be nice.)

It's mighty interesting you didn't _understand_ why Linux is brought up.
What that means is may not have any idea how things _should_ be working.

The reason for Linux is that when you plug an iPad into Linux over USB,
everything you could possibly want to be the case, is the case.
*The iOS file transfer functionality between iOS & Linux is beautiful.
Lovely in fact.
It's exactly the way God herself has always intended things to be.

The entire visible file system of the iPad instantly turns into a usb stick.
Everything you could possibly want to be visible... is visible.

Read _and_ write.

You can even see inside of iOS system files (like the iOS system log).
It's a beautiful sight to behold for someone who cares about functionality.

If you've never seen it in action, at least take a look at the screen shots.
The way Android works with Windows is also exactly as God intended it to be.

I am forced to use a Mac less and less over the years as I substitute teach
at the local high school, which has migrated almost completely off of Apple.

The Mac is far less of an abomination than the iPad simply because it's not
nearly as crippled as the iPad is. For example, on the Mac, you _can_ run a
system-wide firewall, and on the Mac you _can_ list the apps you've
installed into a file, and on the Mac you _can_ run a graphical wi-fi
debugger, etc.

Bear in mind that I am not a Windows/Linux/Android lover as I don't claim
Windows is perfect - as it's far from that and anyone on the Windows
newsgroups knows that _all_ of us talk about M$ in deprecating terms, just
as we did when Canonical tried to pull a fast one on us with Unity.

And certainly I have posted many times that I don't use Google products on
Android (I don't even have a Google login on my Android phone, nor a Windows
login on my PCs as I don't trust either company to safeguard my data).

I wonder though... since you bring up the vaunted Mac.
How _does_ the Mac work with iOS when you plug it into the USB port?
a. Does the Mac native file explorer see the entire visible iOS file system?
b. Can you both read _and_ write to that entire visible iOS file system?
c. Over USB? (without anything else)

If so, a screenshot would be nice as I'm not afraid to compare Mac:iOS file
USB transfer functionality to Linux:iOS file USB transfer functionality.

Are you?

Hi Chris,

I'm not afraid of facts.
That's because I'm not a child.

I'm an adult.
An intelligent adult.

An intelligent adult bases his belief system on facts, Chris.
Not pure (admittedly brilliant - but always bullshit) advertising, Chris.

Facts.
Yes. Facts.

To your point that plugging an iOS device into Linux is a "convoluted
solution", please take a look at this screenshot I just made for corvid.
<https://i.postimg.cc/g269S8rT/files13.jpg>

Notice there is a question there for the USB solution you use on the Mac.

Since you child-like Apple users almost never even click on the references
before you brazenly fabricate purely imaginary Apple functionality, I'll
repeat the relevant macOS question asked of corvid in that screenshot above.

QUESTION:
*When you plug any iOS device (not just one you happen to have registered*
*to the Apple mothership) into native Ubuntu over USB, you get instant*
*access to the _entire_ iOS visible file system (both read _and_ write).*

*How does it work when you plug the same iOS device into macOS?*
*Does macOS also turn the device visible file system into a USB stick?*

This corvid, if he's not just trolling us, brought up an excellent point.
This Chris simply believes _evertyhing_ Apple fed him to believe.
And sms, bless his heart, is clueless how to make it read _and_ write.

You, nospam?
You simply endlessly fabricate imaginary functionality for Apple products.

Why do you fabricate what doesn't exist?
I don't know why.

I suspect you simply _hate_ that your vaunted iOS products are crippled.
But I do not expect the macOS to be anywhere nearly as crippled as is iOS.

Hence I ask the question that corvid kindly brought up for adults to ponder.
*Is the USB file transfer between macOS & iOS as beautiful as Linux:iOS is?*

If it is, it should take only _seconds_ for you to prove it nospam.
Oh. I forgot. You just bullshit. You can't actually _do_ anything, can you?

Here's a screenshot of how fantastic it is when you plug iOS into Linux.
<https://i.postimg.cc/g269S8rT/files13.jpg>
a. Plug iOS into the USB port of any native desktop Ubuntu & voila!
b. The entire visible file system of the iOS device turns into a USB stick.
c. Both read _and_ write! (heh, heh, if you know how)

Just as God herself had intended "smart" devices to be.

Steve,
Please do not doubt the veracity of my statements.
a. I'm an adult
b. I'm an _intelligent_ adult
c. I back up my claims because my belief system is _based_ on facts

I've told you _many_ times the simple trick to _instantly_ turn the _entire_
visible file system of the iOS device into both read _and_ write over USB
when connected to Linux without any jailbreaking whatsoever involved.

How the hell do you think I do it all the time, Steve?

Stop being stupid.
Your ignorance can be cured; but unfathomable stupidity cannot be cured.

*Never say again that it's read only because it's read _and_ write, Steve.*
Without jailbreaking.

You just don't click on the references I _many times_ have provided you.
Hence you'll _remain ignorant_ (which is why you're stupid).

The fact is that it's both read _and_ write to any *non jailbroken* device.

Belief system?

Phones hardly matter to me, but I guess I could base a belief system
on... how about my motorcycle? It's pretty old. Air-cooled, a single
cylinder, and a carburetor. Of course there are knobs on the tires,
because that's how the real world works.

Unlike this kindergarten "corvid" (who is in actuality a nym of one of the
other iKooks like Jolly Roger or Lewis or even "Marilyn" on other ngs), I
base my statements on provable valid facts such as these on my own devices.

The Apple kooks are _desperate_ to derail this thread from the SUBJECT.
Those iKooks have no interest whatsoever in solving the problem set.

The goal here is to do with iOS what _every_ other platform already does.

This is one of the rare moments where Joerg is correct that we need someone

Bear in mind, USB file xfer works for all platforms _except_ for iOS:

It's interesting how _desperate_ the iKooks are to derail the question.

The fact remains it's _only_ iOS that can't (yet) do this simple task:
1. All my Android devices do it

What we need is an expert in how to port the already working iFuse to a PC.

But they know Andy's little choo-choo just goes around and around.

His broken record knows no bounds.

Notice the Apple iKooks have no _adult_ response to the basic facts.

a. Jolly Roger brazenly claimed fabricated imaginary functionality.
b. When asked to back up his brazen fabrications with fact like an adult...
c. Jolly Roger _instantly_ resorted to childish kindergarten insults.

It's how these iKooks mentally process all facts they _hate_ about Apple.

These iKooks are _desperate_ to deflect the technical point from the SUBJECT
*Read _&_ write to the entire visible file system of both devices over USB*

Time and again, it's clear they didn't even _read_ their own links!

This is the _first_ sentence of that link, for example:
"Instead of File Sharing, consider using iCloud Drive, Handoff, or AirDrop
to keep your documents up to date across all of your devices."

Why do you _think_ Apple says that?
HINT: Apple _knows_ iTunes' USB file sharing is merely "barely rudimentary".

Despite the iKooks being _desperate_ to derail this thread (which we easily
predicted they would do in the opening post), the salient facts remain:

1. Android works out of the box <https://i.postimg.cc/9MGdc2s7/files10.jpg>
2. So does Linux out of the box <https://i.postimg.cc/s2x0f9Js/files14.jpg>
3. Even Apple iPods do it <https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg>
4. iOS? <the only known possible solution is an iFuse port on Windows>

The USB file xfer goal can be resolved by finding an iFuse port for Windows.
I'm _not_ a developer and I don't have _any_ experience compiling iFuse.

Hence this question of people who are better at such things than I am.
I can follow in your footsteps (as I try every viable solution proposed).

Is there anyone here who knows iFuse better than I do that can help us?

What's always the case with these iKooks is they just make everything up.
Look at this screenshot: <https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg>

What do you think happens to that _fantastic_ two-way file copy to and from
the _entire visible file system_ of the iPod & Windows... ... ...
What do you think happens, nospam....
What happens...
What happens...
*What happens the _instant_ iTunes is installed?*

Tell us, nospam.
What happens to that functionality the instant iTunes is installed?

Tell us.
(HINT: I know because I certainly know that iTunes _removes_ functionality!)

Note to adults only:
a. I'm aware how very odd that sounds that iTunes _removes_ functionality.
b. But try it and you'll see _exactly_ that (odd as it would seem).
c. A question might be _why_ does Apple have iTunes remove functionality?

Why does Apple write iTunes to _remove_ that functionality?
I don't know why.

All I know is that the instant you add iTunes to Windows, you can no longer
just slide your media files back and forth (read _and_ write) to the entire
visible file system of _any_ iPod (not just your iPod - but _any_ iPod).
a. You can't use any iPod
b. You can't slide files back and forth

Why does iTunes destroy that functionality the _instant_ you install it?
I don't know why.

Ask the iKooks why.
(Note: Ask the iKooks how they can claim I've never used iTunes by the way.)

Tell us nospam why iTunes (and its concomittent bloatware) has huge
vulnerabilities that are in the iTunes Windows versions for 8 years, nospam?

The adults will notice that the iKooks claim they can do what _nobody_ else
can do, which is a brazen fabrication which they _never_ back up with facts.

Since I'm an adult, here are facts that I can do what I claim I can do:
<https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg> itunes removes functionality
<https://i.postimg.cc/NFkXsJ0X/files01.jpg> iOS/Win is 1-way & DCIM only
<https://i.postimg.cc/L8b18Zmx/files02.jpg> iOS "Files" does nothing useful
<https://i.postimg.cc/d3SGkdgr/files03.jpg> Android is two way, everything
<https://i.postimg.cc/QMk7tvZW/files04.jpg> Ubuntu is two way, everything
<https://i.postimg.cc/qqg61Rh8/files05.jpg> Ubuntu, movies _to_ iOS on USB
<https://i.postimg.cc/Jhmy9KH7/files06.jpg> Ubuntu uses iFuse for its magic

<https://i.postimg.cc/3xcCBngd/files08.jpg> iOS is just a dumb brick on Win
<https://i.postimg.cc/mDx3xkp4/files09.jpg> iOS only DCIM & only 1-way copy
<https://i.postimg.cc/9MGdc2s7/files10.jpg> Android is 2-way fast over USB

<https://i.postimg.cc/s2x0f9Js/files14.jpg> Simultaneous linux, win10 & iOS

Adults will notice the iKooks are _desperate_ to claim functionality that
doesn't exist - where Frank Slootweg became exasperated these iKooks _never_
can back up _any_ of their brazenly fabricated imaginary functionality.

Why are the iKooks so _desperate_ to deflect this technical thread?
I don't know why.
I just know that I can predict a decade in advance what they do.

Nonetheless, the goal remains to obtain for iOS the same functionality we
already have for all other platforms except for iOS (even iPods!)

The USB file xfer goal can be resolved by finding an iFuse port for Windows.
I'm _not_ a developer and I don't have _any_ experience compiling iFuse.

Hence the answer will be from those who are better at such things than I.
I will follow in your footsteps (as I try every viable solution proposed).

The iKooks _hate_ that goal is so very simple & yet they can't ever do it.
*Read _&_ write to the entire visible file system of both devices over USB*

There's no mention of "out of the box" even though it's clear both Linux and
Android do it "out of the box".

Notice the iPod does _not_ do it out of the box, but with free software it
_does_ do it; so there's no need for "out of the box" at all.
<https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg>

What is needed is a universal solution that works for everyone, which means
all the software needs to be is free and it needs to do the job asked of it.

But that's too much for these iKooks to comprehend.
*_What_? Free file copy? To and from the visible file system?*

That's apparently far too much functionality to ask of iTunes or Files apps.

The goal is too great.
In fact, the iKooks claimed that's an "artificial" goal.
Why?
> never have i seen people make such a big deal about copying stuff.

It's _you_ iKooks who are brazenly fabricating imaginary functionality.
Not us.

We back up our claims.
1. Android works out of the box <https://i.postimg.cc/9MGdc2s7/files10.jpg>
2. So does Linux out of the box <https://i.postimg.cc/s2x0f9Js/files14.jpg>
3. Even Apple iPods do it <https://i.postimg.cc/fRtZFGSt/sharepod01.jpg>
4. iOS? <the only known possible solution is an iFuse port on Windows>

You are the one who _hates_ that last line and who is making a big deal
by brazenly fabricating functionality for that last line that doesn't exist.

Not us.
We just want to solve that problem which Apple created.
