[Mobilefinder] Browse root filesystem on Jaibroken Phones
I dont't know if this is usefull to anyone but you can browse you complete iphone filesystem if you have a jailbroken phone by doing the following:
Your phone needs to be JAILBROKEN to do this:
1) ssh to your phone
2) cd to /var/mobile/Applications
3) There will be a couple of directories with cryptic names... find the directory with the MobileFinder.app in it
4) cd to the Documents folder in that folder. This is the folder where MobileFinder saves its data.
5) enter 'ln -s / IPHONE'
now you have created a hard link to the root directory of your phone. This is potentially dangerous and could mess up you phone if you delete/change important file. If you do so don't blame me... ;-)

You need to have ssh program (putty on windows,ssh in the terminal on mac).
On the mac,in the terminal enter: ssh root@<iphone-ip>

ssh = Secure SHell which is the way of accessing the iphone remotely thru wifi or tethered to usb
cd = Change Directory which is a command found in unix and msdos that allows the user to change the working directory they are in
Also note that these are "terminal" tools meaning you will see NO GUI when using them
@outofbreath: neat find buddy.... it kinda shows that apples sandbox isnt as secure, but if you need a jailbroken phone to do this theres not much application since ssh already gives you remote root access and theres other phone based browsers that give root acces too
Now if you could modify the the original app to install that symlink on its own it would be useful for "official" iphone user
Get the latest info for NoAccSplash
Here
Currently it should work on iOS 5.1

If you'd like to help extend its functionality, the source is also available.

And by the way, CaPs MaTtErS. If command says "cd", then type "cd", not "CD", "Cd" or "cD".
