Apple iOS device owners can use their iPad 2, iPad, iPhone and iPod touch to view, transfer and save files from their PCs and Macs with the newest update to LogMeIn Ignition, the third-party iPad app.

The newest version adds file functions to Ignition’s remote control capabilities. It is claimed to be the first iOS app to combine remote control with file management.

“Just as the iPad changed mobile computing, LogMeIn Ignition has opened up new possibilities for how people can use their iOS devices for business purposes,” said Andrew Burton, LogMeIn’s vice president, Access & Management.

“The addition of file access to remote control makes Ignition a more powerful business app than any standalone remote access product.”

With the introduction of file viewing and management, iOS device owners can now choose to remotely control a computer desktop or directly access a computer’s file systems – or multiple computers’ file systems —using a single app.

The new LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone/iPad also introduces the ability to wake a sleeping computer from an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch using Wake-On-LAN.

iPad 2 users will also benefit from increased speed and performance, with LogMeIn Ignition tuned to allow for multitasking and the simultaneous usage of remote control and file transfers.
