iPhone : Transfer of files from Mac/Pc to app

I need to transfer binary files from my pc/mac to my app. I want to all开发者_如何学Goow my users to upload sound files. Am i going to have to run a web server that the user can connect to over wifi?

What are the steps i have to go through to get this up and running?

In my apps, I use the open-source cocoahttdserver. It is quite trivial to setup in your app and connect to from a computer using the same network. They have an iPhone sample project that you can pretty much cut and paste from for basic functionality.

Do you need to transfer the files program-atically or through a GUI? If you can use a GUI, enable file sharing, and use iTunes>IPod>Apps>File sharing to drag and drop / load files to and from your application's Documents folder.

If you need to do it programatically, here is a technical note describing different strategies to do so: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#technotes/tn2152/_index.html
