Pull photo albums via OpenSSH

krypto · 06-25-2009, 09:23 PM

I am trying to SSH some Photo Albums off of a iPhone 3G OS 3.0. My problem is trying to find the folder they are stored in, does anyone know which folder Photo Albums are in?

I am unable to sync them to iTunes due to the fact that the computer this iPhone used to sync to is now dead.

If I can't SSH them off, they will be stuck there forever.

iTunes SUCKS!!!

Why dont you just sync them? I take it they arent your photos / phone?

You could just email them to you, or if you really want to SSH they are at:
/private/var/root/Media/DCIM/100APPLE

I'm talking about "Photo Albums" that were originally synced to the iPhone, not "Camera Roll" photos.

Can't sync them back to computer because said computer is gone, along with the photos. The photos I'm trying to pull are now only on this particular iPhone & nowhere else. They don't show up in the DCIM folder.

Have you tried using diskaid?

Yeah 3.0,

Basically the same folder structure as WinSCP 4.1.9.

I think they are stored in a database structure, and unable to find them normally.

You can't really do this - I tried once when I accidentally deleted quite a bit of my photo library. All photos in "albums" on the iPhone are encrypted into one database file that isn't able to be read or decrypted by a computer; just the iPhone. The photos actually taken with the phone are the only ones stored as image files.

However, there are iPhone data recovery apps such as this one that can pull things like photos from the iPhone to your computer. The only downside here is that there quality will be decreased.
