NetPortalLite - Access files on remote computers
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
NetPortalLite is like having Windows Explorer or Mac Finder on your iPhone to access and copy files on remote computers including Windows, Mac, and Network (NAS) drives.
NetPortalLite allows you to try some of the features of FileBrowser, but constrained to viewing PDF files and Image files.
No additional software is necessary on the remote computer.
REMOTE ACCESS
Most other file sharing apps require you to copy files to your iPhone whilst in the office, or at home, and then let you take those files with you. NetPortalLite can do that, but also allows you to connect remotely (via a VPN or router port-forwarding) and access the files directly, wherever you are.
VIEWING FILES

The full version (NetPortal) also supports the following
■ All key document formats including iWork, RTF, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).
■ All the audio/video formats that the iPhone can handle (MP3, MP4, MOV, M4V, AIFF etc).
■ All plain-text documents such as source code, scripts, configuration files, even if the file extension is missing or unrecognized.
■ HTML and webarchive files.
STORAGE
■ Store files on your iPhone, even if they can't be viewed on the iPhone.
■ Create and arrange local folders as you wish.

NOTES
To connect to your file shares, you must either be directly connected to the LAN (Local area Network) via WiFi, or if you wish to access your files from the Internet (via WiFi hotspot, 3G, Edge or GPRS), you must have one of the following connections configured.
■ A Virtual Private Network (VPN) to the remote LAN.
■ Port-forwarding of Internet SMB traffic to your computer.
To connect to a Mac you may need to enable the SMB protocol, and will need OS X 10.5 or later. Our QuickStart guide on our web site has step by step instructions for this.
