Hi, to gain root access to an iOS device it must be jailbroken. If you use file management apps and it's not jailbroken, the files you put in those are jailed or sandboxed to that app file structure only. Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
On my Android devices, it is rather simple to download and save files to the 
filesystem, create directories, etc. So, my question is this :
1 - how do I download files locally in iOS?
2 - how do I manipulate the filesystem? How do I create directories, move files 
around, etc? In other words, what type of file manager/explorer programs exist 
and how accessible are they with VO?
3 - I know that when I jailbreak an iOS device, I am able to install an ssh 
server and sftp files anywhere on the device as the root user. In Android, I 
can elevate an application to root privileges. How does one do this in iOS, and 
do I need to be jailbroken first?

Thanks,
Bill
