Zwind vs SMB Server

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a local WebDAV server and personal content hub. Zwind maps local files, SMB/NAS, cloud drives, RSS/OPML feeds, web media, and Emby libraries into one WebDAV-style resource tree, so files, feeds, web lists, media, and links can be browsed, read, played, streamed, and shared. Zwind is more than a file server or player. It is a lightweight workspace with built-in WebDAV Browser, Web Browser, Feed View, Video Player, Music Player, Image Viewer, Text Editor, Markdown Reader, Bookmarks, and more. Map content into Zwind instead of copying it into the app, then read, play, edit, search, cast, or continue in third-party WebDAV clients and players. Background WebDAV server operation is supported. Start free with one WebDAV server. Upgrade to Zwind VIP for multiple servers, advanced resolvers, and richer content workflows. Selected resolvers can also be unlocked separately. PERSONAL WEBDAV SERVER Create a WebDAV server on your iPhone or iPad. Map local folders or connect SMB, NAS, and cloud storage. Share files over LAN and access them from browsers, players, file managers, or any WebDAV-compatible app. MULTI-SOURCE RESOURCE TREE Bring local folders, SMB/NAS, iOS Files cloud folders, Quark Drive resources, RSS/OPML, web media, and Emby libraries into one unified directory. To you and third-party clients, they open like normal folders. RESOURCE PROJECTION & RESOLVERS Zwind projects feeds, search results, web lists, cloud-drive-like sources, and media libraries into virtual WebDAV directories. Supported resolvers: * RSS Projection: RSS, Atom, podcasts, and OPML imports as readable feed resources. * Quark Search Import: search and save supported Quark Drive shares. * Web Media Projection: parse web media sites into clean virtual folders, so webpage media can be browsed, read, or played like files. * Emby Library Projection: browse Emby libraries as WebDAV directories with metadata, filters, pagination, search, and playback. FEED VIEW Feed View is Zwind’s unified reading layer. Aggregate RSS, Atom, OPML, podcasts, YouTube channels, Reddit communities, and web sources connected through Web Media rules. Articles, images, audio, and video resources can appear together in one subscription timeline. WEB MEDIA PROJECTION With open .wm rules based on the ZWMP open standard, a few lines of declarative configuration can describe how a list page is detected and parsed. Turn webpages into browsable WebDAV directories and enjoy them inside Zwind. BUILT-IN APPS Use WebDAV Browser, Web Browser, Feed View, Video Player, Music Player, Image Viewer, Text Editor, Markdown Reader, and Bookmarks from one place. MEDIA, READING & FILES Play video and music, view images, read Markdown or text, and manage files. Supports queues, minimized playback, Picture in Picture for supported videos, subtitles, AirPlay, DLNA/UPnP casting, image zoom, media search, WebDAV URL bookmarks, folder flattening, file actions, and quick previews. SECURITY & CONVENIENCE Zwind’s WebDAV server runs locally on your device. You decide which directories to expose and whether visitors must enter username and password. Server Lock can require a password or Face ID before starting selected servers. PREMIUM The free version can run one WebDAV server. Upgrade to Zwind VIP to run multiple servers, unlock advanced workflows, and use the growing Resolver system.

SMB Server turns your iPhone into an SMB (file sharing) server. From a Mac or Windows PC on the same Wi-Fi network, you can open your iPhone's Documents folder directly and copy, move, or delete files. No cables and no cloud required. [Great for] • Getting photos, documents, and music from your computer onto your iPhone without a cable • Quickly pulling files off your iPhone onto your computer • Moving files around at home without the cloud or an account • Handling files the familiar way, from Finder on Mac or File Explorer on Windows [Key Features] • File server supporting SMB2 (connect from Mac, Windows, Linux, and other SMB clients) • Start or stop the server with one tap • Bonjour support: appears automatically in the Network list in Mac Finder • Shows the IP address, port, and connection address (smb://...) you need, right on screen • Guest access, or set a password to restrict who can connect • Read-only mode (blocks writing and deleting from the computer) • Automatically start the server when the app launches • Keeps the screen from auto-locking while the server is running, so connections don't drop • View a log of connections, disconnections, and file operations • Shows the free space available in the shared folder • Open the same Documents folder from the Files app, too • Built-in guide for connecting, plus troubleshooting tips [How to Use] 1. Open the app, tap "Agree and Start", then tap "Start" (If asked to allow access to the local network, choose "Allow") 2. Enter the address shown on screen on your computer (YOUR_IP = the IP address shown in the app) • Mac: In Finder, choose Go, then Connect to Server, and enter smb://YOUR_IP:4455/Documents • Windows: Enter \\YOUR_IP@4455\Documents in the File Explorer address bar • Other SMB clients, such as Linux, can connect too 3. Sign in as a guest, or with the password you set Only this app's Documents folder is shared. The share name is fixed as "Documents". [Can't Connect?] • Make sure your iPhone and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network • Keep the app's screen open on your iPhone • Include the share name (/Documents) and the port number (4455) in the address • Mac Finder keeps a window in its failed state after a sign-in failure. Close the Finder window, then choose "Connect to Server" again. If it still won't connect, delete the old password in Keychain Access [Privacy] • Never connects to the internet. Works only within your local network (Wi-Fi) • Does not collect or transmit personal information, usage data, or file contents • Uses no third-party SDKs of any kind, including ads, analytics, or crash reporting • No account registration or sign-in required • Your Documents folder is shared only while the server is running. When stopped, it cannot be accessed from outside [Notes] • The server runs only while the app's screen is open. Closing the app disconnects all connections • The SMB port number is 4455 (the standard port 445 is not available due to iOS restrictions). You need to specify the port when connecting • With guest access, anyone on the same network can connect. Use it on a trusted network, or set a password
