Accessing the iPhone filesystem from a Mac OS X application

I need to get a file (sms.db) from an iPhone connected to a Mac. I cannot find any way to access the iPhone filesystem searching in Apple Developers Connection...

I cannot SSH to the iPhone, the application I want to develop is meant to be used on non-jailbroken iPhones... And I would like to avoid some MacFuse modules I found googling, too... I would like to access the filesystem thru some sort of API, the simpler the better.

Thanks!
