Read-only access to app folders
In order to facilitate file transfer to/from my iPhone, I installed iFuse using Pamac, Manjaro Linux's application installer. I then created a directory 'iPhone' in my home directory, in which to mount my iPhone. Unfortunately, I have two problems:
When I connect iPhone to my PC via USB cable, it mounts in Thunar's side pane. And iPhone's system directory's (AirFair, Books, DCIM, Downloads, iTunes_Control, iTunes Restore, MediaAnalysis, PhotoData,Recordings) mount/display inside my 'iPhone' directory. Inside my 'iPhone' directory, I am able to create further directories, and copy files to it. However, I do not see them in the Files app on my iPhone, or Documents 6 file manager app. So I have no way of accessing the files I have copied to my iPhone.
By clicking on 'Documents on Wendy's iPhone' entry in Thunar's side pane, I am able to access the folders of installed apps (similar to iTunes file sharing). However, when I try to copy a file to an app's folder (e.g. Documents 6 file manager) a message displays "Error while copying to Documents. The destination is read-only". For information, I am able to copy files out of the app's folder to my PC. If someone could help me resolve these issues, I would be grateful.
