Just move your stuff to GDrive (the iPhone should support that), and then use Firefox to slurp it back down to your FreeBSD machine. But I ditched Apple after jailbreaking a couple iPod touches before 2010. Even jailbreaking was not enough to fix the awkward and limited usability - Come on, I shouldn't HAVE to use itunes for managing my mp3 collection, and if I want to rename a file, it shouldn't get in my way. Moved to Android after getting too frustrated with Apple's insistence on calling the shots on every single stinking PDF and MP3 that I wanted to use.
