First Look: Briefcase for iPhone

I had recently switched to iPhone from Blackberry. The most valuable feature for me is being able to email stored documents to my co-workers. So far only ReaddleDocs app have this feature.

As long as this works from wi-fi iPod Touch to a wired Mac on a different subnet. This is how it is at work and at most corporate sites. Many of these apps will only work on the same subnet.

I recommend Mac products and software to costumers for it's design &
simplicity.

If Briefcase is as straightforward as http://heymacsoftware.com/
claims - I'm in with my customers.

"You just enable WiFi export on one iPhone and then browse to it
using Folders on another iPhone"
I DON'T want to enable anything for software to work. I just want to
use it! That's why I buy Mac.

still prefers the old afpd -- works flawlessly with macs with bonjour, no need to type ip.

echo for DropCopy, which works perfectly for sending files between iphones/ipods, and is very Mac-like. Their desktop Mac client has been on my machines for years...

I strongly recommend Caravan. Caravan allows HTTP 'get' and FTP 'put' & 'get' from iPhone, only app in store that I could find that does.

It's the underdog in the whole 'wifi drive' app sector.

This app also crushes FTPOnTheGo. Please see my review.

Cool. This is the best file transfer app as AirSharing/TouchFS/DataCase/etc. don't have the feature to browse the computer from the iPhone !

Waiting for the release !

I agree, using SSH is a bad idea since it is not supported on all systems. Air Sharing used HTTP (WebDAV) which as we all know is supported pretty much universally.

I've been using AirSharing for this, and it works fine, but there's one function that's lacking in all of these apps – the ability to attach one of the files to an e-mail. I thought about this because I'm on the job hunt right now and it'd be pretty impressive if someone asked me for my resume and, right in front of them, I emailed it to them on the spot.

Is there any app that has this function? Heck, does Apple even *allow* that function?

"WIndows and Linux machines simply need to support remote login via SSH. "

No version of Windows supports SSH out of the box, so this app is pretty useless for transferring files from the phone to a random Windows box.
