J iOS is a great application that I use all the time - basically it
lets you write your own apps. I kept the old "test-flight" beta on my
iPhone 4S for ease of file transfers until they killed it last month.
It was a relief that, when I installed J from the app store, the files
from the beta were still there!
I'm still trying to get your copy-paste iosx.ijs to work - complains
about the path. But I would point out that those who have jailbroken
their iPhone (and thus continue running iOS 6.0.1) have a nicer option.
If you've installed "open SSH", you can log into your phone over your
local Wi-Fi net. Then you can use WinSCP on your windows machine to
drag files to and from your phone. I've just tried that and it works
for me. I found that the J applications are stored at:
/private/var/mobile/Applications/D66F852D-4897-427B-85DD-44D3B2F8C33D/
/Documents
(why the obfuscated application names !?) Anyway, thought I'd pass this
along :).

J iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod) has been at the app store for nearly a year now.
It has been installed more than 4000 times and the install rate is steady!
Moving content (scripts) between desktop/iOS has been a nuisance. The
only Apple approved method is copy/paste. A bug and a mail client
misunderstanding made the process more difficult than necessary. These
issues are resolved.
The bug was that J iOS truncated content copied to the clipboard. The
iOS mail client (safari gmail mobile) is limited in copying content,
but using an attachment is an easy workaround.
Mail moves content between desktop and iOS mail client. Copy/paste
moves content between iOS mail client and J iOS.
One time steps prepare desktop/iOS for sharing content. After that, it
is relatively easy to use mail/copy/paste to share content.
