WHS Mobile is a utility that lets you manage your Windows Home Server files, port forwards, and users using your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Say you remembered that you needed an image or document (.pdf, .doc, .xsl, .htm, .html, .txt) that you had stored on your Windows Home Server while on your way to the office. Normally, this would be a problem. Now that you have WHS Mobile, you can just whip out your iPhone and download the file straight from your WHS. That is just one of the ways WHS Mobile can come in handy and save your butt. (Data plan not included.)
WHS Mobile can give you access to your shared files and manage them from your iPhone. You can delete and rename any file no matter the type.
Search your home server's shares using your iPhone. WHS Mobile interfaces with Windows Search to provide speedy results.
Stream your MP3's and videos (.mp4, .m4v,.mov, and.3gp) that are stored on your Windows Home Server directly to your phone.
View and download your photos that are on your Windows Home Server.
Upload photos from your device's photo library or directly from the camera.
Manage your user accounts from your device. Enable, disable, and delete users without the need to log-in from a computer.
Forgot to forward a port to your Home Server before you left? Just open up WHS Mobile and add it on the go.
Have multiple people who need access? Worried about security? No problem! Each Home Server user account can be given permission to connect using WHS Mobile. You can limit what they have access to do based on accounts. Each user only has permission to view/read/write based on what has been set on the Windows Home Server. You simply set up their account on the Home Server, and then they can log-in with their own user name and password. Log-in credentials are configured/changed using the devices settings app. After installing WHS Mobile, you will see a place to configure WHS Mobile in the iPhone/iPod settings app.
WHS Mobile is the only way to easily manage your Windows Home Server using your iPhone or iPod Touch.
WHS Mobile requires a server running Windows Home Server. Please install the add-in onto your Windows Home Server.
