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
SIOCGIFCONFand 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.
