I wonder whether it's possible to connect to an AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) share from my iPhone. I have a share in my WiFi network and would like to browse and read files on that share from my iPhone.

Is there a way to do that with the official SDK? If not, are there any libraries out there that I could use?

Thanks.

afpfs-ng is probably the closest thing to a usable AFP library, but it's GPL. There is nothing built-into the SDK. You'd be best off to use another protocol like WebDAV or SSH/SFTP.
