All schools are (being forced) to use ipads as of the start of the new curriculum. It is specified in the upcoming documentation. In some major schools IT is no longer a subject and the new curriculum has it removed. Maybe Linux can get a simple to install and use file transfer app working as quickly as possible.

Hi,
my daughter has a new iPad now, it is a requirement at the college she goes.
Great, that fossil does not even know what to to with a USB stick? Any workarounds?
I guess I could put the data on the Linux side under a webserver's root. Other ways? Does Apple still supports Apple File Server (would be netatalk on the Linux side?) It's easy. You transfer data onto the ipad by purchasing things via the Market app.
More seriously -- I think you can transfer files by connecting it to an Apple laptop running iTunes and then pairing them up. (ie. You can transfer more than just music)
Alternatively, have you tried some of the ipod-compatible Linux tools? They might work with the ipad too.
The internet at large seems to suggest installing an app on the ipad which enables WebDAV, which you can then mount on your linux box via fuse, nautilus, etc.
