Accessing file system on jailbroken iOS

Short Question:

Is there a way to call the root file system (similar to iFile) from a jailbroken ios application in order to upload files from the local device to a server?

Thank you.

Solution

  • Wow, I can't believe no one answered since April. Possibly you've already found the solution, but anyway: yes, you can. Check out the NSFileManager class:

    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSFileManager_Class/

    Depending on whether you have text or binary files, you'd then need to check out either NSString or NSData, respectively (more info available in Apple's Documentation).

    Just make sure your app is not running from the /var/mobile/Applications directory, but rather /var/stash/Applications.
