I am having a wifi Harddisk , just want to connect and access the folders and document of wifi Harddisk from my iPhone through wifi and without using internet connectivity.
I want to create similar application mentioned below url:-
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goflex-media-seagate-technology/id431912202?mt=8 ?
As per GoFlex Satellite™ User Guide you can browse the HD contents with a web browser.
You (or your user) will have to manually connect to GoFlex Satellite WiFi network - it looks like this device starts it's own AdHoc network. Sorry to say it's not possible to automate this process from code - at least not without using private API's.
You can test if this works like this:
- connect to GoFlex Satelliti WiFi network with your iPhone
- open www.goflexsatellite.com in Safari
You can do this also from code using UIWebView.
A nice tutorial on using UIWebView can be found here - just remember to use www.goflexsatellite.com as a target URL.

I have downloaded and installed an extension to preview a webpage I'm working on inside the editor. It works fine, but I would like to also test the same HTML code on my mobile device as well. I have a normal home WiFi network. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow hook into the preview from another device besides the host computer. Is there a way to view the website from my phone on the same WiFi network, and access all of the website's served files, like index.html, /styles/.css, /scripts/.js, /images/*.jpg, etc?
Thank You!
very simple solution
turn on the live server on your pc
check the port where it's running
will look like 4400
check your LAN IP address will look like 192.172.123
Enter the address with the port number in this form (192.172.123:4400) on another device connected to the same router or device
Boom you can view changes as same you are using the same device
Sorry, I didn't realize that this functionality is already included in the wonderful extension that I originally downloaded - it's called Live Server by Ritwick Dey. On his GitHub repo, he outlines steps to remotely connect to the served website via another device on the same network (your phone for example). Tried it and it worked the first time!

I need to make an iPhone application which connects to a first Wifi network, receives some files from a specific device and then sends these files to a computer being connected on another Wifi network.
I see two possible approaches :
1. to send the files to the computer, my app disconnects from the first Wifi network and connects again to the second network
2. my iPhone app is able to connect itself to two different Wifi networks.
I believe the second solution above is not possible on iOS and the first one needs to use private APIs.
Do you see for other solutions for me to receive data from a device connected to a Wifi network and then send data to another device connected to another Wifi network ?
Thank you very much for your help.
You cannot programmatically modify the selected WiFi on iOS without using private API. I think this post describes what you want.
I think it is very unlikely for Apple to change this, therefor I suggest using a web service to upload the data to and a push notification to the computer to tell it to download the data once it has finished uploading.
I want to create an iPhone application that can call web services on a computer, and then upload those files over the iPhone 3g connection. Is there an elegant way to do this?
I tried connecting the phone to local Wifi, but connecting to Wifi disables 3g, even though the Wifi is local network only.
I assume the same problem would arise if I could network the phone with the computer via bluetooth.
Any other ideas? The purpose is to go up to a special demo PC we created, pull some data off, then upload to the Internet, all within proximity of the machine. Unfortunately, it appears that I can't use one connection for pulling data, and another for pushing.
Your assumption is correct. When connecting to both 3G and Wifi, the Wifi connection will be used. Sounds like your local network has no route to the Internet. Perhaps that could be fixed.
Apple does not prefer its iPhones to be used as routers.
If you're working on something that will not be distributed through the App Store, you may have some success looking at "tethering" applications and their source code, which can be found by some clever Googling.
I am working on a educational related apps. My app functionality is working well when the WIFI is connected otherwise it is getting crashed.
In my app I am connecting with the server using NSURLRequest class its working.
the download also not having any problem if the wifi is available.
problem rectification: I have to know weather the my app device is connected with external network or not.
So, how can I know my app is connected with the wifi or not?
The following link consists source code, in which it consists how to check the reachability. That means the wifi or any network is connected of not.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/Reachability/Introduction/Intro.html
Apple provides sample code called "Reachability" to detect when the network is available. That would be a good starting point, though a quick Google should locate some alternatives.
The iPhone settings have an IP address for the device when it is connected to a wifi network. Is it possible to get this IP address and establish a connection between a desktop computer (on the same network) and the iPhone?
I want to be able to transfer files between the iPhone and the desktop computer. Some apps like the "Files" and "FourTrack" apps do this.
Can someone please guide me to where I can start?
Thanks a lot for any headsup
Google for SIOCGIFCONF and you'll find a bunch of example code in C for getting all your IP addresses. Once you've enumerated your devices, on iPhone they are always in the following order: Loopback, WiFi, WAN.
Once you have that, you can implement a web server with CocoaHttpServer pretty easily. You'll have to hack it to add directory listings and the like, but it's not too hard. It's not trivial, but it's not too bad.
I think you already answered your question... you have to download an app to do this. I use "Air Sharing" and it works fine.
