VLC for iPhone has been released back onto the App store and has some nice new features, one of which is a small webserver you can use to send files directly to your iPhone through a web browser.

Note: The computer and iPhone must be connected to the same network in order for this to work.

Here you will see a neat option to enable WiFi Uploads. Turn them on and take note of the IP address and port combination the app assigns you.

Then just take your media file and drop it onto the Window; the file will then be uploaded to your device automatically.
