If you use Shopify, you may want to check out a new app that’s coming soon called StoreSync. Looks like a cool way to manage your store from your phone. Supposedly it’s coming out on 9/4 – according to their Twitter feed. I can’t wait to try it out.

FTP on the go, with FTP On The Go
Monday, July 6th, 2009
Imagine it’s Friday night, you’ve just left the office when suddenly your cell phone rings. It’s that client you just talked to earlier today. They wanted a change made on their website. Ok, you think to yourself, now what could they want? Cautiously you answer the phone and hear “We have to get that wording changed now!!!” Of course by “that wording” they mean the line of text in the include file, buried 3 directories deep… not the text you have setup in a CMS for them. What do you do? Well if you have FTP On The Go, you whip out your iPhone, FTP into their server, edit the file, hit save, and continue on with your weekend plans.
In case you haven’t guessed by the rather corny introduction, FTP On The Go is an iPhone app that lets you FTP into servers. You can edit files, download them to your iphone, upload files… basically anything you’d normally do via FTP can be done here. Obviously you wouldn’t want to code an entire web layout with this app, but it works great for those emergency fixes on the go.
One of the really nice features of the app is the ability to enter and save login info, so you can just hit connect to get access to your server. You can also set a password on the app itself, so if someone borrows your iPhone, you won’t have to worry about them accessing your server.
To find out more about FTP On The Go, you can visit their website or view this app in the app store.
Using Basecamp on your iPhone
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
If you’re like me, you probably love Basecamp and your iPhone/iPod Touch. Fortunately there are several apps that allow you to use Basecamp on your iPhone.
One such app is called Outpost. It allows you to view your projects, messages, to-do’s, and milestones. Outpost will even cache a local copy of your data on your phone so you can access information and post messages/milestones/to-do’s while you’re offline. It then syncs everything once you’re back online. I’ve been using it for awhile now and really love it.
A few other apps you can checkout (note – I haven’t used these, post a comment if you like any of them): Encamp, Groundwork, Projects, Minivan, & Mother Camp.
