F2P Help for iPhone and iPod touch
To access the PC through F2P, use Safari to go to the specific F2P Access Server address (such as http://try.myf2p.com). We recommend that you bookmark the F2P addresses, and the browser history will help you.
Then, click one of the main page buttons:
Public - opens the Public Folder, which may contain files, folders and perhaps a photo album available to anyone without a password. See Files and View Options.
Private - opens the Private Folder, which may contain files, folders, monitor snapshots, webcam snapshots, and a photo album. The Private folder is password protected and intended for the Files2Phones Access Server owner.
Guest - opens a specific Guest Folder, based on the username and password you enter. Guest folders can contain files, folders, monitor snapshots, webcam snapshots and a photo album as the Private folder does.
Settings - change your F2P settings, and see the email address for sending photos to the F2P album on the PC. The lower right corner has the revision number of the Files2Phones Access Server that you're connecting to.
Logout - erases the F2P password cookies, so they must be re-entered before entering the secure areas.

Email Links to Others
In many cases, you can use email to send a link to the file to someone else. The link you send includes an encrypted security key so that the person can access the file without a password. To send the link:
|
1. | Click the info+email button. |
| 2. | When you see the information listing, click the Email This File button to launch the email. |
|
| 3. | Fill in the To: and Subject: in the email and click Send.
The text area is pre-filled with the filename and link (with security key). You can add text, but do not make any changes to the link and security key; they must remain one continuous string. The email is sent from the email account listed in your Settings. |
The recipient receives the email and clicks the link. The file is downloaded. It may open automatically, or the recipient may be prompted to save it, depending on the capabilities and configuration of the computer, iPhone, iPod touch, or other device they're using.
