What's the best way to transfer files (images, media files, etc.) between a Linux machine and an Apple iPad running iOS 7.1?
It should preferably be achieveable from the shell and amenable to scripting.
e-mail? At least on the Linux side you can script that (auto-generating an e-mail with a file as an attachment) Setup a little local mail server and create an account for the iOS device. I tried once an SSH client on an iPad but it gave me some errors when trying to connect to the Ubuntu box. I was not persistent enough to figure out why (I hate Apple devices with a passion because of the lock-up/lock-in and complete surveillance issues - but the kids' schools insist:-( Regards Peter
