Serversman@iPhone – Official app turns iPhone into file-sharing web server

While jailbroken iPhones and iPhone 3Gs have been playing dress-up as legitimate web servers thanks to unofficial jailbreak applications that port Apache and PHP to the iPhone, the officially locked-down iPhone scene has been left wanting an official iPhone web server application. Until now.
A new iPhone app has launched in Japan’s iPhone App Store, and is ready to turn your iPhone into a file-sharing web server. The Serversman@iPhone iPhone application was developed by Japanese developer Freebit, and allows iPhone users to move files between the iPhone and other web-connected devices with ease.
Serversman@iPhone allows for uploading and downloading of files between the iPhone and a remote computer via a web browser. If webDAV is more your style, Serversman@iPhone allows you to synchronize files between the iPhone and your computer. Freebit’s VPN software negotiates the connection between the remote systems, making remote file transfers a no-brainer. Even better, Serversman@iPhone supports a direct connection for file-sharing when the iPhone and the computer are on the same local network.
Serversman@iPhone is expected to become available in the US through the iPhone App Store in March.

Hi, my name is Shun Fushimi and I’m a member of ServersMan team in FreeBit Corp., Japan.
Thanks for noticing ServersMan@iPhone.
BTW, we recently released version 2.0 in App Store U.S. for free!
With ServersMan@iPhone, you can use your iPhone as a Web Server.
Also you can use it as a Network File Storage too.
Both of them don’t take you more than 5 minutes.
It works on both Wi-Fi and 3G networks (unlike other similar apps!)
Moreover, version 2.0 enables multi-thread processing so your iPhone can be accessed simultaneously from many people just like usual Web Servers.
We made some demo videos of ServersMan so please see the following if you want to know how it works.
