With the recent release of secRMM 5.7, you can use the secRMM SDK/API to copy data to and from mobile devices. This includes apple mobile devices. For an overview of the apple functionality provided by secRMM, please read this blog.
secRMM provides an out-of-the-box “Windows explorer like GUI” program called SafeCopy which allows you to do file copies interactively.
Today, though, we will show IT admins how to do this programmatically using Microsoft Powershell.
Here is the code. Hopefully to the Powershell enthusiast, it is self explanatory.
#To run this batch, from a DOS command window, type:
#powershell “& ‘C:\BlogPost\CopyFromDevice.ps1′”
#Create the secRMM mobile device object
$l_objSecRMM = New-Object -COM secRMMWPDApiCOM;
#Lets set the device, source file and target file
$l_strMobileDevice = “My iPad“
$l_strAppleSource = “com.myCompany.mobileApp1/Documents/TodaysSales.docx“;
$l_strWindowsTarget = “C:\Users\Angela\SalesFor08092014.docx“;
#Lets execute the file copy operation
$l_strReturnCode =
$l_objSecRMM.CopyFileFromDevice($l_strMobileDevice,
$l_strAppleSource,
$l_strWindowsTarget);
if ($l_strReturnCode -eq “1”)
{
Write-Host $l_strAppleSource “copied to” $l_strWindowsTarget;
}
else
{
Write-Host $l_strAppleSource “NOT copied to” $l_strWindowsTarget “:” $l_strReturnCode;
}

Happy scripting!
P.S. Yes, you can do the exact same in VBScript and JScript or in your favorite .Net language. Native C++ coders, there is a tlb for you to #import as well!
A free two week trial of secRMM is available at Squadra Technologies.
