Air Sharing - File Sharing For Your iPhone
If you have an iPhone (or iPod Touch) with 2.0 firmware, and wish you could use some of your iPhone’s free space to store a few documents.. consider your wish granted. Air Sharing, from Avatron Software, is an application you install on your iPhone (or Touch) and turns it into a WebDAV server. If you don’t know what that means, I’ll give it to you in english. Your iPhone is now a wireless flash drive :)
From your Mac, PC or Linux box, you connect to your iPhone the same way you connect to a file server. For Mac users, this is the Finder’s ‘Connect to Server’ under the Go menu. Enter your iPhone’s IP or Bonjour (network friendly) name and your iPhone will appear in the Finder’s sidebar, along with any other devices on your local net. The rest works just like you’d expect.. drag, drop, rename, open documents right on your phone.
Air Sharing supports documents from iWork, Microsoft Office, PDF, RTF, Plain text, Source code, Movies, Audio and Images. See the Avatron site for exactly which fomats are supported. An integrated help file will walk you through how to set up your Mac or PC to work with Air Sharing, and will explain all of the options.
Avatron is offering this fantastic utility for free until September 19, after which time it will cost you $6.99. You can get Air Sharing at the iTunes App Store.
