Copying files onto the iPod Touch easily
The problem was basically that I wanted to get eBooks (text files) onto the iPod Touch, but not having a wireless network, that was proving to be somewhat difficult. The only real possibility was to try and find an unsecured network somewhere and bring a laptop, connect them both to the network and SCP (secure copy) the files over that way.
However, a colleauge introducted me to a brilliant application combination that allows me to copy files onto the iPod Touch while simply connected to the machine normally though the sync cable. These applications only exist for mac though, but since they prove that it is possible.
First installing macfuse and restarting. Running the iphonedisk application gives instant accecss to the iPod. The iPod Touch is then mounted on the system like any other drive and files and can be copied too and from just like any other filesystem. No fuss whatsoever! GREAT!!!
