I realize that this is not about an ipad, but I have a Lanix LT500 cell phone that will only connect directly to memory chip with some Windows software (3 kinds). I was pissed, have to remove chip from under battery.
Then I was looking at options and I saw ftp server as an option. Weird. So I tried it. Must have an existing, external WiFi to start up ftp. Weird also. It's slow, but private. I was going to upload and download files to my server, but that's a lot of bandwidth for about 75 mp3s. Probably won't help your problem any, but thought I'd mention this really odd option on my phone. Chris Bennett
