Re: [apple-iphone] iPhone app that mounts Mac drive for file sharing

FTPonthego, Documents2, Air Sharing Pro. One I didn't get a chance to
try that I think is a pretty close match to ezShare Pro is iStorage. I
can't recall now why I decided not to test iStorage. Might have been
that I liked ezShare Pro.

I know what you mean by the awkwardness at first in ezShare Pro. Took
me a few times to get the hang of it, especially around pulling down,
editing and then uploading a file back up to a webserver via FTP. It
works good though.
