Files2Phones + Apple iPhone = Remote Access to your Files
What would you say if you could access your desktop remotely through your iPhone? Wouldn't that be great!? Well, now, 1st Works Corp. plans to announce a product for the iPhone that let's you do just that. The application, called the Files2Phones, is a web-based application that displays on an iPhone the contents of files on remote PCs. This would include Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, AutoCAD drawings - or any files that can be opened on the user's PC.
Furthermore, the system is very easy to use. All you need to do is drag and drop files into a password-protected folder on your PC. This folder and all its contents can then be viewed on the iPhone. According to 1stWorks, Files2Phones delivers password protected, time constrained, on demand access to the file system on any computer from any authorized PC, PDA, smartphone or WAP enabled cell phone with a browser.
Files2Phones instructions/how-to:
* The first icon launches the application on the remote machine and displays the image
locally as a jpg. It also provides page segmentation as a separate function from integrated
smart phone zoom, so if that function is not available on the particular device you are
using, you can select any particular segment of the image for local display.
* The second icon displays information about the file, its creation date, file size, etc, for
confirmation before download that this is the correct file you wish to retrieve.
* The third icon downloads the file from the remote machine for local execution if you have the
application locally and then displays the results on your cell phone. Simple examples
include .doc and .xls files, but the same technique can extend the possibilities to custom
corporate applications
* All download activity is written to a local log file on the desktop computer identifying the file
name, the date and time stamp, the action as well as the requesting IP address and port
details.
* You will also appreciate that the public directory feature for file content combined with the
virtual DNS also constitutes a full html blog hosted on your own system, no hosting fees
unless the Internet Service Provider wants to charge for this feature. We have all the
software to support that functionality.
