Briefcase app for iPhone

Hey Mac Software has released Breifcase, a file transfer application for the iPhone or iPod touch. Users can download any type of file or directory onto their mobile device, without the need for cables, client software, or switching between the phone and Mac. Bonjour technology is used to detect any computers or devices that are accessible on a network, and then allows the files and directories to be viewed, even from machines that are connected to remote networks.

Files can be transferred between iPhones if Briefcase is installed on both, although only the upload function is supported for security reasons. The program uses secure shell SSH encryption protocol to securely transfer content. Briefcase for the iPhone and iPod touch is available from iTunes for $5, or as a scaled down Lite version for free.
