AFP Shares on iOS Devices

Hi,


I am trying to find a way to mount & acces an AFP share on an ios device/simulator.

I've seen some apps on the store offering this functionnality (files connect.. and more)


But I have no idea where to start from as its only documented for OSX (Core Services: File manager reference).


Thanks alot

I'm 99.99999% certain that the kernel code needed to support AFP is not compiled into the iOS kernel. So basically, the only way you're going to be able to do that is by integrating a third-party AFP client library (and realistically, one that isn't GPL-licensed, which makes it a tall order). Or you could implement one yourself. The protocol isn't too horribly complicated, at least from the client perspective. It is fully documented in Apple Filing Protocol Programming Guide.

Thank you !

I am going to look into the protocol as I haven't found any afp client library.
