To save me buying an external hard drive, is there anyway to mimic one using a laptop? Is there any software that will do this so when I can plug the laptop into my iPad? My iPad is Jailbreaked and has iFile etc..
AirSharing which cost 10$ is worth it and has a lot of great feedback in the app store.
If you have a mac, you can check out Panic ftp for mac on google. FileZilla and WinSCP for windows pc too!
You can also search usb drive or ftp drive in the App Store to find results and use the setted up ip address it gives you from the App for your laptop browser to browse the files.
