Ipod Synchronization with PC (moving files to and from an ipod touch)

I'm building a PC application in C++, and I need to synchronize some TXT data from my PC to 开发者_运维百科IPod Touch and vice-versa.

How to do it? I have no idea.

Can I synchronize with USB port, or network?

Without paying a (very expensive) license to apple your program will not be able to talk to the ipod. However, If the ipod is jailbroken there are a number of ways you can do it.

If you are only wanting to talk to jailbroken ipods we may still be able to help but if you want stock it is likely out of the price range a single person could afford. Please update your question if you are willing to do only jailbroken ipods.

Correction: There are some things you can do. If you have a cutom app from the app store installed on the ipod, I tunes does allow syncing with that app for programs like ebook readers, you may be able to do this to sync. Also you could connect to a server while your app is running and get the latest txt file that way.

But there is no way to just grab a file or put a file on the ipod, and the app running on the phone would be trapped in it's own sandbox and would not be able to see or touch any other files on the ipod.
