How to Stream Video from Your Remote Computer to Your IPhone
If you have an iPhone, then you know that you can stream videos, listen to music and read document files, even if the video, audio and document files are not saved on your phone’s disk. It may seem really weird at first, however, the technology has now made it possible.
You only need to save the files on your computer and it should be connected to the internet. In the meantime, you should also have the internet enabled on your iPhone in order to access the files from your computer. Also, you will have to install a software program, which will help you access the files from your computer, when you are not at home.
