While drafting this, I've just seen Joey Tuttle's post. But I'll
persist!n (And
now, Eric's!)
There's the official method for the previous (32 bit) iOS versions,
described
under http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/iOS/32bit#FileTransfers
It involves emailing to yourself. Possibly simpler and easier to remember,
and how I happened to do it this afternoon -
transferring from PC:
on the PC,
in J editor, select all or part of script;
copy it;
in your email handler, mail that copy to yourself;
on the iPad,
read your email;
select the relevant part of your message body (avoiding mailer's
headers and footers) and copy;
in J 701 session on the iPad, type
je 'myscript' NB. or whatever you wish to call it;
(this opens your edit window)
in the iPad's J edit window, paste into an appropriate place;
best to press the [save] "button" immediately.
This worked fine for me this afternoon with half a dozen scripts
of up to 400 or 500 lines. Obviously it would get out of hand with
really large scripts, or a large number of them, when Joey and
Eric's more sophisticated methods might come into play.
Presumably you can do the same sort of thing in the other direction,
but I haven't tried it with the new J iOS.
Any use?

What is the easiest way to transfer a bunch of scripts back and forth

Thank you Eric!
I've just tried j701 on my iPhone 6+. The new keyboard is a *vast*
improvement making the entry of the most common
characters much more convenient.
My phone was jailbroken for years, which made it easy to
move files onto the J app, but eventually I was forced to
upgrade to the latest OS (now 10.3.2). Adding files became a
headache. I'm delighted to discover that iFiles is now able
to see the j701 files, and better yet, I can drag and drop
files from my Mac to the j directory of the iPhone.
Thanks again for your efforts on this release -- it's a whole
new world of usefulness.
