Erica Sadun has written a utility to easily email files from your iPhone. This tutorial will show you how to install the SendFile app and how to use it to email a file. A big thanks goes out to Erica for all her hard work.
Step One Press to select Installer from your SpringBoard.
Step Two Press to select the Install tab at the bottom of the screen.
Step Three Press to select Utilities from the list of Categories.
Step Four Press to select SendFile from the list of Packages.
Step Five Press the Install button at the top right hand corner of the screen.
Step Six Press the large Install button that appears.
Step Seven A notice will appear letting you know this application is charityware. Read the notice then click the Ok button.
Step Eight You will be sent back to the Categories list. Press the Home button to return to the SpringBoard. Notice the SendFiles icon.
Step Nine Launch Fugu by clickings its icon in the dock.
Step Ten Enter your iPhone's IP Address in the Connect To: field. Enter root as your Username. Then click the Connect button.
Step Eleven If prompted enter your iPhone's password then click the Authenticate button. The password is usually alpine or dottie.
Step Twelve On the right hand pane double click the Media folder to open it.
Step Thirteen On the right hand pane double click the Documents folder to open it.
Step Fourteen Navigate to the folder containing your files using the left pane. Now drag a file from the left pane to the right pane. It is this file that we will email from our iPhone.
Step Fifteen Press to select the SendFile icon on your SpringBoard.
Step Sixteen SendFile opens to a list which will contain the file we transferred over in Step Fourteen. (SendFile App scans the /var/root/Media/Documents directory for files). Press to select the file you would like to send.
Step Seventeen Press to select the large Email File button that appears.
Step Eighteen Mail will now launch with the file you selected as an attachment. You can now email this file to whomever you like!
NOTE***: SendFile also has the ability to send files from one iPhone to another. I will post that tutorial shortly.
