Bonjour is Apple's "Zero-configuration networking". Essentially it allows you to advertise a service on the network by name, allowing other machines on the local network to discover it. There's plenty of high quality documentation available from Apple. Just google it.

Bonjour is just a way for your desktop application to discover the ip address of the iPhone. To actually transfer data to or from your device, you need to write that code yourself. Unfortunately Apple doesn't provide a framework to do this.

Some people use WebDAV, implemented with an open source framework.

Another option is to use ZSync, if you are using Core Data:
