  Sorry for the late response.

  var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/

  Should give you your music.

  However the directory’s are like this
  /F00 /F01 /F02 etc..

  The music files itself also have garbled names

  like
  CANS.mp3
  CCRI.mp4
  etc

  I hopes this answers your question .

  oh, if you just copy your files over to itunes, they will get the correct name.

  As iTunes only changes the name of the file but not the data in the file.

  Igor, i found a way to do it. I haven’t tested it but you should be able to connect to your iphone or ipod touch via usb, with the program Total commander and a plugin called T-Pot.

  I think i might make a tutorial for this, let me know if that would help.
  You need total commander from :
  http://www.ghisler.com/
  And then you need to install T-Pot fro :
  http://code.google.com/p/t-pot/wiki/Installation

  According to the wiki, it has some issues, but nothing you can’t fix with terminal .app .

  let me know if you’de like me to make a tutorial

  When I am trying to connect through FileZilla it says, error: Server Unexpectedly closed during network connection.

  Does this have to do with a firewall or something? What can I do to fix it?

    Filezilla won’t work as this is a FTP program. you will need a Secure SSH(SFTP) client like WinSCP.

  I was wondering, is it possible to upload converted videos to the ipod touch without using itunes?
  I was looking around my ipod touch with “wnscp” and cannot find where the video are downloaded to. I cannot find a video folder in any of the folders, and I have clicked on every folder in the ipod. I converted a video, and put it on my ipod touch with itunes, but when I look through the directories, I cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks! I have NES Emulator running some ROMs due to your help!

  Also,

  I have an iPod touch, is there a way I can put different transducer sounds with WinSCP?
  Like replacing(or adding, if possible) the default alert/transducer sounds?

  Where would I find the directory for these sounds in WinSCP? and where would I find sounds in the “Transducer friendly”(whatever it’s called” format on the web that I can add?

  Of course, if it’s not possible to do this, disregard my post.

  Thanks again.
