printingrestricted-accesstransferusbusers
I'm trying to make a safe workstation PC for sensitive data using Ubuntu 14.04.
No user should have the right to: print, connect a USB flash drive to transfer files, send files via email or install new softwares.
I'd like the restricted user to only be able to read files and not transfer them in any way possible.
Thanks for any help.
You need this : libimobiledevice
This is a cross-platform package which communicates with i-devices and get file-system access (and much more) and needs no jailbreaking.
Most recent version is 1.2.0 and you can read details here: Official page : libimobiledevice.org
Coming to installation, there is already excellent description available here : Mounting i-devices on ubuntu
After mounting your iphone like a USB device, you will be able to access the folders and then your transfer job will be just copy/paste thing.
If you are transferring a video file and it is not recognized by the default video app on iPhone, then the issue is with the file format including bitrate and frames per second. To solve this, one can simply convert to iPhone supported video format easily using Handbrake video encoder.
This application is available in the software repository and installation is easy using the the Software center on 14.04 or Software on 16.04.
In the application, choose 'iPhone and iPod touch' shown in Devices menu on the right.
(* Most of the times it is noticed that the file size becomes smaller than original. If you have several files, you can queue them and convert all of them together.)
iTunes to get the new video(s) playable.
