Here’s a free alternative to Ecamm’s iPhoneDrive; the shareware app permitting read/write access to a mounted iPhone volume under Mac OS X.

Allen Porter’s iPhoneDisk uses the MacFUSE filesystem for reading & writing data on your iPhone. Install MacFUSE prior to compiling/using iPhoneDisk; click here.

The download below is revision 10 from the project’s subversion repository.

• Unrar the archive
• Ensure your iPhone is connected via USB
• Close down iTunes completely
• From a Mac OS X terminal, run the supplied shell script: ./mount.sh.
• Your iPhone should be accessible under the directory, “/Volumes/iPhone”

In the event you need to recompile the iphonedisk binary, run ‘make’ from the terminal. I’ve successfully compiled it on my Intel MacBook Pro.

NOTE: There are currently some bugs in the filesystem plugin that make it not cooperate well when copying files using the Finder interface. Stick to the command prompt for now.

See README for other important details.
