As I understand it iOS devices are nominally secure. If so you can't expect to connect one to a PC and have the PC be able to read its contents without some sort of authentication.
Even if you're somehow able to authenticate, I suspect the iPad uses a file system which a PC doesn't natively understand so it wouldn't be able to mount the iPad storage so you could work with its files.
It sounds like iTunes on a PC gets you past those hurdles. It's probably quicker to install iTunes on the PC, transfer the files, then uninstall it afterwards than researching other methods.
