Browse desktop files from iOS device over local network

I currently have my app configured for file sharing through itunes. However, I want to be able to browse through my my files located on my mac from my iOS device like the FileBrowser app or the Files Connect app. I know that these apps use a combination of the CIFS, SMB, AFP, FTP, SFTP, and WEBDAV protocols. The Tango c library looked promising for this but I could not get a good connection. I have tried using Bonjour and the cocoahttpserver library but I don't think I need these to accomplish what I am trying to do.

I have been going around in circles on this one and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Any information would be helpful and thanks.

This is a good tutorial for understanding Bonjour/Networking/Sockets/Streams. Not directly related to file sharing but a good place to start.
