Note: This way applies to jailbroken iDevices.

Step 1: In the first instance, there is a little bit of maintenance needed to make this possible. On your jailbroken device, launch Cydia and install the Filza File Manager.


Step 2: Within Filza, you will now need to head into the app’s Settings/Preferences. You can achieve this by tapping on the little cog icon on the bottom navigation bar.

Step 3: When in Filza’s settings, you will now need to make sure that the WebDAV server functionality is activated. You can find this in Settings under the Enable WebDAV server cell with an On/Off toggle next to it. Turn this into the On position so it is green.


Step 4: Now with WebDAV activated, you can use your Mac or PC to connect to the device via a web browser and happily browse through all of the iPhone’s file system. You will simply need the IP address of the device in question to access it, which you can also find from Preferences panel of Filza.
