Secure, real time access to any files on your PC through your iPhone or iPod web browser, view your desktop display or see a picture from your desktop webcam. All you need is a PC, an iPhone or an iPod touch and Files2Phones from 1stWorks.
1stWorks, a real-time communications software company with solutions for secure multimedia conferencing, collaboration and content delivery, today announced the launch of Files2Phones - a powerful application that instantly displays the contents of files on a remote PC to your iPhone or iPod - using SSL technology to protect your data in transit while your original data always stays securely on your own PC.
Any application or file type, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, audio, video, even CAD drawings - any file that can be opened on your PC can now be viewed remotely on your iPhone or iPod. To set up F2P, simply drag and drop the local directories or individual files you want to make available for remote access into public, private or guest folders on your Windows PC. The files are immediately added to your personal F2P directory at your .myf2p.com page - where they can be viewed using the Safari browser on your device.
Or choose to view an instantaneous image of your desktop PC display and, if you have multiple monitors on your system, you can view them all. Launch the webcam on your desktop PC and see the image on your browser. Great for security when you are traveling, or for just checking in to see the view at the desktop, anytime.
Using the iPhone, you can easily add pictures to your online F2P directory at your myf2p.com page. Take the picture with your iPhone camera, email it to your personal directory at your .myf2p.com page and Files2Phones will automatically add the image into your published picture file. Keep your friends in the picture, simply and immediately. And speaking of email, if you want to share any file from your desktop system, you can email an encrypted link to the intended user from your iPhone and the file will open for them in a browser.
On the general subject of security, access to the files in the private and guest directories is managed by username and password as well as time frame, while all access requests and file transfers are recorded to a log file on the desktop computer, including the name of the file accessed and a timestamp as well as the requesting IP address, port and connection type.
Files2Phones is available immediately for the iPhone and the iPod touch. Download your free trial from http://www.myf2p.com, licenses can be purchased online for $29.95 for 3 months or $99.95 for a year, and there are no hidden data or usage charges.
