Recent correspondence under a similar heading led me to have a go with my
iPad, as a client, linking to my laptop as a server. I had thought
this might be
possible but I hadn't realised there was guidance on how to set about it.
The laptop runs 64-bit Windows 10, and the iPad is, of course, iOS,
10.2.1
To my surprise, it was quite easy to set up; my ZoneLabs firewall
appparently
tolerates calls to 65002.
A couple of questions though:
a) having made contact from the iPad, and running menu/ide/jfile, the
file list
defaults to ~user/temp . Now, it's probably a fault of my own making,
in having
far too many files both in temp and in user, but it appears at first
glance that
I'm not able to navigate up the file tree, nor to any of the folders
displayed
horizontally below [action] .
The error message is:
ajax(d) failed: QuotaExceededError (DOM Exception 22): The quota has
been exceeded
HOWEVER, the navigation does appear to happen - it just takes time!
eg, selecting "../" from the vertical list, or "User" or "user" from
the horizontal display
results, quite slowly, in the "user" folder being listed vertically,
after closing the
error dialogue box.
b) I thought I'd best make the laptop server address a favourite to
save on tedious typing
and alliteration. Windows DOS (!) ipconfig had shown my address as
192.168.0.6, so my
"favourite" location was saved as "192.168.0.6:65002/jijx#" (I don't
remember entering
"#" but never mind)
But this evening, in re-establishing the JHS server on the laptop to
help write this email,
ipconfig tells me that the laptop's address is now 192.168.0.5. So I
had to fiddle with my
favourite fastkey to amend the 6 to a 5.
This is probably a Windows set-up thing, but have you any tips to get
round this
annoyance?
Thanks,
Mike
