PCtoWii is a program that allows a user to connect their PC to a Wii console over a Wi-Fi connection. This enables the user to control the Wii or transfer files between the two devices.
It's not a commonly used feature, but it's possible that some developers created such program using the WiiConnect24 feature of the Wii console, which allows the console to be connected to the internet while in standby mode and receive data from other devices.
There are also Homebrew Applications and custom firmware that enable this feature.
