Easy File Sharing Between Your Mac and Jailbroken iOS Device Using Netatalk




AppleVis Podcast show

Summary: <p>In this podcast, Ivan Soto, shows us how to use a Cydia tweak called <a href="http://cydia.saurik.com/package/netatalk/" target="_self">Netatalk</a> to browse files on a jailbroken iOS Device using your Mac.</p> <p>Netatalk is a free, open-source implementation of AppleTalk for Unix systems. Installing this package will let you use standard Apple file sharing to connect to your iOS Device.</p> <p>After showing us how to find and install Netatalk, Ivan uses it to access the filesystem on his iPod Touch and change the sound pack used by iOS.</p> <p>As stated by Ivan during the podcast, this is not something that should necessarily be used by new or novice users, as there is the risk that you might accidentally delete something important from the filesystem on your iOS Device. In the worst case scenario, this could make the device unusable.</p>
