iPhoneDrive Super Alpha

UPDATE:
new google code project page at http://code.google.com/p/iphonefs/

Ok, just got done with getting this to the point it mostly works.
Files are at http://projects.lokkju.com/iPhoneDrive.1.0.2794.12283.zip

Simple instructions:
unzip, run iPhoneDriveControl.exe.
A messagebox will pop up, asking for the location of iTunesMobileDevice.
Select the file, hit ok.
The program will start.
Ignore all the german scrolling in the trace window - the is alpha goddammit.
When it runs, it will find the next available drive letter.
The drive letter will be printed to the Trace window.
The drive letter will be mapped to the phone's filesystem.
Now you can use Windows Explorer or the command line, makes no diff.

Feel free to submit bugs, but I know there are lots, it is an alpha.

Also, this works just fine on unhacked phones, it will just show your jail root.

For windows obviously, though it might be ported to linux under mono.

If anyone wants to work on the source with me, and knows C#, let me know through comments or email.
I have a svn repo, and you can submit patches or I can give access.

Right now this is semi closed source, but should eventually be released under the GPLv3.
Specifically the CIFS server implementation is not open source yet, and isn't mine, though the auther keeps saying he might make open source soon.

Once I get the bugs worked out, it will run as a windows service, so you have the drive whenever you plug in your iPhone.

Same problem as along. Windows explorer says the html file I’m trying to copy no longer exists. This will be really cool once it’s working fully. Cudos, man.

amazing!

By the way, I’d like to mount iPhone without running a special process like this. Just like USB flash storage which you can use just by connecting to the PC. PSP’s USB mode is a good example.
Is it possible to develop a native application to let the iPhone go into disk mode?

I too am unfortunately running vista. After the step “iPhone connected, starting CIFS S” vista pops up “this program has stopped working” or the like. Ugh, why does vista blow. I’m using iPhoneExplorer by the way, from the link posted to the other vista user who couldn’t access the programme.
