The free version (which nicely runs on Windows or Mac) is a drag/drop
interface similar to "CuteFTP" or other such visual file transfer apps.
I can see (and move/replace) the various files I put into the iPad j
folders when you could do it from iTunes. In some ways it is similar to
that interface, but much more "direct" to use and see what's happening.
It looks as though their paid app would let the iPad be mounted as a
file system, and so for example you could read/write files in the j
folders from j running in OSX.
The freeware version certainly provides a convenient way to get .ijs and
other data files onto and off of the iP... The visual interface should
discourage accidents that might happen when doing file I/O to a mounted
file system (if one is paying attention). Certainly it would be a good
idea to be calm, organized, clear headed and careful when moving files
with iExplore....

No free lunch. What does the free version allow you to do? What does the
paid app allow?
It works using a mild jailbreak so it probably lets you mess up things
badly. Legal, but strongly against what Apple wants you to do.

I put it on my iMac last night. Looks like it might even be useful to have
their $20 paid app to mount the iDevice as a file system. It also looks
like it would be really easy to screw up the device.... Big time...

Murray,
Just googled iExplorer and it sounds great. I encourage others to take a
look. If this works as advertised it is the best solution to moving stuff
between an iOS device and the rest of the world.
Thanks!

Via a Mac OS X app, iExplorer, I'm able to access the file system on a
connected iPad or iPhone. It seems that would be the quickest way to get
J/iOS addons files to the iOS device.
But where exactly in the J/iOS file tree should they go?
In the iPad's Apps/J tree there (at least) two candidate locations:
Apps/J/Documents/J/addons
Apps/J/j.app/Documents/adons
Which one?
I want to do it this way because the method posted on the wiki seems
tedious (and I cannot get it to work, in any case). Namely: using the
posted script to bundle-up a single addons directory, insert it in an
html,
email it to myself, open the html on the iPad or iPhone, put the
contents
onto the clipboard, and finally use the jt script, etc.
