It is troublesome to transmit iPad files in Ubuntu because iTune does not provide Linux, and Rhythmbox in Ubuntu can only synchronize music and ebook.

Here is a method for using SFTP.

Procedure

1. The iPad needs to be jailbroken first;

2. Search for and install OpenSSH in Cydia on the iPad. OpenSSH is an ssh server program.

3. After OpenSSH is installed, connect the iPad to WiFi and enter the following command in Ubuntu to log on to the iPad (if the IP address after your iPad is connected to the Internet is "192.168.0.200 "):

Ssh mobile@192.168.0.200

In the previous command line, "mobile" is one of the built-in iPad accounts, and the other is the administrator account "root". Their initial passwords are "alpine ". First, you 'd better change the initial password to prevent hackers from intruding your iPad in public.

The password change method is the same as that in most Linux systems. First, use the "su" command to switch to the root account, and then enter

Passwd mobile

Enter the new password twice in a row to change the password of the mobile account.

Passwd root

Change the password of the root account. After the password is changed, you can log out of ssh.

4 (this step is optional). Sometimes it is necessary to install an ssh client on the iPad for convenient management. Here I install "iSSH", as shown below:

5. Open "Ubuntu Software Center" and search for and install "FileZilla". FileZilla is an outstanding FTP client software that supports Ftp, Sftp, Ftps, and other transmission protocols.

6. Run FileZilla and click "file"-"Site Manager" to create a new site: Enter the IP address of the iPad on the host. I am "192.168.0.201" and leave the port empty, select "SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)" for the host type, select "general" for the logon type, enter "mobile" for the account, and enter the password you just changed. Click "Connect ". As follows:

7. Now you can see all the files in the iPad in FileZilla. Of course, you can also transfer the files.
