How to Browse iPhone Files via iproxy

You need to have iTunes installed on your PC.

1. Download Release Files

First, download the Windows release files from the following GitHub repository:

• https://github.com/libimobiledevice-win32/imobiledevice-net

This repository contains tools to facilitate communication between your PC and iPhone.

2. Enable Port Forwarding

Use the iproxy.exe included in the downloaded files to forward your PC’s local port 8080 to your iPhone’s port 80.

Example command:

./iproxy.exe -l 8080 80

This command makes your PC’s localhost:8080 redirect to your iPhone’s port 80, which is typically used for web servers.

3. Run a Web Server on the iPhone

On your iPhone, install the following app from the App Store:

• Documents – File Manager & Browser

This app includes a web server feature that allows your iPhone’s files to be accessed over HTTP.

4. Browse Files from Your PC

Open a web browser on your PC and navigate to http://localhost:8080. Thanks to the port forwarding via iproxy.exe, this connects to the web server running on your iPhone, allowing you to browse and manage files on the device.
