iPhone AFP Share
1. Copies over to the iPhone quite easily
2. Using the command provided (/opt/iphone/afp/startserver.sh. &) the AFP server starts on the iPhone and stays running for some undetermined amount of time (one of the items that seems buggy to me)
3. Via the Mac, accessing afp://<ip address> brings up the usual apple share dialog (see screenshots on tuaw).
4. Once authenticated, you are in and ready to go…
The author talks about enabling Bonjour, which I haven’t done, yet.
The other item that I noticed was that after a couple hours, I wasn’t able to reconnect back to the iPhone via AFP. Multiple attempts crashed Finder in Leopard. Attempting to start the AFP server again on the iPhone produced a message indicating the service was already running or in use.
Only after rebooting the iPhone and restarting the service, was I able to get back in via AFP.
I’m sure we’ll see a ton more development on this in the near future. A GUI to manage the starting and stopping of the service would be a crucial next step.
