Is there a way to write/upload a file to OSX filesystem?

[juj]

In my unit tests that I automate with ios-deploy, I'm looking for a way to generate a file on the iOS, and have it somehow stored on the OSX filesystem e.g. in the working directory where I launched ios-deploy from. Is something like that possible?

If not, I could always spawn up a HTTP server on the host, and have the iOS device HTTP upload the file there, but that's somewhat heavyweight. It would be nice if there was some way to achieve this with ios-deploy.

On Android I have the application write a file to the Android filesystem /sdcard/ directory, and then use adb pull to retrive that file to the OSX file system after the application has finished running. Would it be possible to do something like this with ios-deploy?

Thanks @shazron ! That seems to do the opposite, i.e. upload a file from the OSX file system into the iOS file system? I am looking to perform the other direction, i.e. when I run an application on iOS, I'd write a file somewhere on the iOS file system, and after the application finishes, I could pull that file from iOS back to the host. Is that possible somehow?

I tried to test the new feature, but when I try to upload any file from OSX filesystem to iOS, I get an error Cannot write to test.txt. Permisison error. Are some directories read-only, or should the device be rooted?

Ah ok, I misunderstood. Will re-open. Essentially it's the reverse, maybe @neoalienson can comment whether this is possible.

This seems to have been fixed in d86b0ca, which added --download.
