I'd like to access files in an iPhone, such as using remotely connecting via ssh and telnet. But it appears that the iPhone's ssh or telnet are not supported. I can ping it, but cannot use telnet or ssh.
I read through some internet article, it appears that using jailbreak or Cydia it is doable, but I guess it would break my iPhone's license.
Is there an official way to ssh or telnet into my iPhone?
Here's how to browse files on your iOS device:Select your device in iMazing, then click Apps. Select an app, then enter its Backup folder. Navigate that folder to find files. Select files you want to view; you may or may not be able to view them, depending on which apps are needed to read their data.
TL;DR You can't. In order to be able to connect to the (or any, for that matter) phone via SSH, it needs to run an SSH server that listens for connections.
Apple File System (APFS) is a proprietary file system that was designed with encryption in mind. APFS works across all Apple's platforms—for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch.
You can't just access any file in a non-jailbroken iPhone.
You can access data files for your own programs during development using Xcode's Organizer, go to Devices -> your iphone -> Summary -> Applications -> your app, click on the triangle thingy to show the Application Data, which you can download.
Otherwise use something like Airsharing (see moogs' answer which came as I was writing this) to upload&download a bunch of files.
I loved ssh-ing before, but Airsharing is even better. You can upload files via a wifi connection to your ipod (using a browser or via webDAV). It was free for the first few weeks, but now it goes for $4.99. That's still not bad.
You can view office, image, pdf and html files.
