what do you guys recommend for managing and getting App data off the iphone.. i've started writing a custom app (jailbroken, not apple sanctioned) that I will be using to collect/store various data... i'm currently storing a bunch of text files (CSV) in my application's Documents sandbox...
i want to get the data files off somehow to manipulate this data on my computer. although i could be wrong, i don't think the iTunes sync will allow me to manage or pull down/sync app data..
in addition to pulling down data, i'd like to easily manage the files on here, such as deleting older files I no longer need. or adding new files manually without entering individual data points into my App.
i'm currently using SSH/SCP, but this is painful as the App's directory keeps changing with every build (into some unique Hex-looking-identifier dir).. (i haven't learned enough about iPhone apps to figure out why this happens, and what the implications will be if it continues to change after i start collecting real data)..
File management seems like a problem alot of people have (and many iPhone apps i have come with their own proprietary uploader program for the Mac)..
so i want to focus on building my app's main functions, and not having to write a file manager.. is there anything out there i can just plugin/integrate into my app to get something like this with a GUI on both the iPhone and Mac? or maybe a file manager/uploader SDK or a web server & app that has upload/download/delete/overwrite functions? or an easy to integrate AFP server that I can configure to my app's Doc dir?
i have a feeling i'm gonna get stuck just writing an scp/rsync script. that's pretty lame.
