WiFi Files


THIS PAGE HAS MOVED TO Files n Folders


The content below is maintained for legacy purposes only. 





WiFi Files is a utility app that lets you transfer files, images, videos from your personal computer to and from your mobile device over WiFi.


The app runs on iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Features
DOWNLOAD & UPLOAD
* Browse folders and download files from both Mac and Windows machines to your device
* Upload files, photos & videos from your iDevice to your Mac or Windows machine

ZIP FILES
* Unzip saved compressed files on your device
* Create zip files from folders on your device

DO MORE WITH SAVED FILES
* Save files from other apps. Example, you can save attachments from Mail in the app for later access, save zip files from attachments and then unzip them.
* Organize saved files into folders via drag n drop
* Email saved files as attachments
* Sort file lists alphabetically and by modification date
* Add downloaded images and videos to the Photos app on your device
* Video AirPlay support

* Allows opening of different file types in other apps that support the file format


INTERNET FILES
* Browse the internet and save files from the web
* Save webpages as HTML or as PDF
* Capture and save web screenshots


Troubleshooting
  • Username/Password issues: The username is case-sensitive and cannot contain a space. The newer version (April 2, 2012) desktop app checks for this issue but older versions and the iOS app does not validate this. Will be fixed in a future release of the iOS app.
  • Ensure that the HTTP Service on the desktop app shows the status of "Started". If not, the iOS app cannot connect. 
  • The desktop app requires the port 48080 to be available to start the HTTP service. 
  • Try "Restarting Services". Sometimes if the desktop app is running for a long time, the IP address expires and must be renewed. The newer version of the desktop app (April 2, 2012) solves this issue. 
  • Check that you have entered the IP address correctly on iOS devices.

The app on my iPad works great. The only thing is, it seems to timeout after awhile.
As to documentation, you stated it comes with purchase. Where is it located? The help button on the app just sends me to iCloud.

I installed WiFi on my ipad (bought from istore) and also on Windows 7 laptop.

On the ipad under tries to find my windows PC, but doesn't find it!

Should there be an icon for WiFi on my windows desktop?

Please advise what to do - maybe there is a problem with fire wall or k9 protection?

When I touch the documents on my screen all I get is "Internal Error"?

HELP! running a PC with 2 nics and the program is binding to the wrong nic. I cannot find a place in your program to set the IP I want the server to be on. Can I do this as I want it to be on my Public wifi and not my private VPN side.

Hi,

I downloaded this app, it shows me my computer files but when I save them on my iPhone I do not see them in my library, I am just a little curious wether to buy it or now because it did not work in evaluation version, how can I trust it?

Please advise.

Thanks
Sam

When you open a file, the app just saves it in a temporary location since it assumes you could be just browsing around. If you want a file to be permanently stored, tap on the little 'disk' icon and it will save the file the "Saved Files" section accessible from the left nav.

Thanks,
Aashish

Curently, the desktop app has no way to pick between two NICs or specifying an explicit IP. Maybe I can add it in a future version.
