There's also MTP packages, that can speak directly. That's what I
installed on my 6 home workstation, and I can copy files to and from my
Nook.

Nook isn't an iPhone though. Apple's very proprietary. :)

Is there a computer in the house with iTunes?  For example, when my wife
travels, she wants videos on her iPad. I transcode them for the iPad on a
Linux or FreeBSD workstation, then scp them over to her Mac, and from
there, put them into iTunes and from there, into the iPad. 

It's less of a pain than it sounds, but is going on the premise that you
have a computer with iTunes.  I don't know about it with a Windows version
of iTunes, we've only done it with her Mac.

For the OP:
Did you even try Google before asking the list?  Google should always be
your first choice.

For Scott:
If you install the VLC app on the iPad you can probably skip the
transcoding and also having to add the video to iTunes first.  You'll only
need to transcode the audio if it uses AC3, which is proprietary and the
owners have been issuing takedown notices for any app using it (so VLC
doesn't support it).  Otherwise VLC can handle any video format (the days
of having to use a special profile just for an iPhone or iPad are long
gone).  You can then copy the videos directly into VLC using iTunes file
sharing.
