To enter Air Sharing's settings panel, touch the Settings 'wrench' icon in the toolbar.
This will bring up the main Settings panel, which has links to several pages of controls.
The Sharing controls let you turn Air Sharing’s WebDAV server on and off, and choose a network Port. You should leave the Port set to its default value, 80, unless you are having trouble connecting and have reason to think that port 80 is in use or is being blocked.
Turning on Require Password and entering a user name and password protects your private data from unwanted observers.
If you turn on Public Access, other people can still access files in your Public folder. To access them, guests can connect to your Air Sharing address, with /Public appended to the end.
You can optionally assign a passcode to protect local access to your files. A passcode is a four-digit numeric code. If you turn on the application lock feature, do not forget your passcode or you will be unable to access Air Sharing, and will have to reinstall the application.
When the Application Lock feature is enabled, you will need to use your passcode to launch the Air Sharing app, to turn off Application Lock, or to change your passcode.
The Allow Sleep option determines whether the iOS device will sleep after a preset amount of time, or not at all.
Sleep control does not allow Air Sharing to serve files in the background while running other applications; it merely prevents the iOS Device from going into Auto-Lock mode while it is in use.
The Slideshows options let you set the duration for each slide, whether the slideshow will Repeat, and whether images should Shuffle (play in a random order).
The File Browser options panel allows you to control how files will be displayed in the Air Sharing file browser. In this panel, you can set the View Style and Sort order.
The View Style controls include options to control how file entries are displayed in the file browser. There are three List views (small, medium, and large), which display files as in a list. Alternatively, you may choose Icon view, which displays files in a more Finder-like grid.
Also in the View Style section are controls that determine whether file extensions are displayed in the file browser and whether invisible files (those whose names start with a period) are displayed in the file browser.
The Sort order allows control over the file browser’s sort order.
The settings panel also displays the URL of the IP address and Bonjour address to use in order to connect to Air Sharing.
