Hi Phil,
i would say mergFTPd is the easiest way to accomplish that.
Did you already check the mergFTP Demo stack which is inside the Livecode app
bundle, e.g. here for LC 9.6.2
/Applications/LiveCode Business 9.6.2 (rc
2).app/Contents/Tools/Ext/mergFTPD-1.0.56
You just need to set/select the correct provisioning profile in the standalone
settings under iOS and you could test that stack on your iOS device or in the
simulator.
Now regarding fetching data from the iOS device.
Let's say the ip of the iOS device is 192.168.0.25, the username and password
for the ftp access are the same as in the demo stack and the file we want
retrieve is report.xlsx and want to store it on the desktop, then the command
to fetch the file is
put URL "ftp://hello:world@192.168.0.25/report.xlsx"; into URL
"binfile:~/desktop/report.xlsx"
To upload a file to the server the following would be used
put URL "binfile:~/desktop/report.xlsx" into URL
"ftp://hello:world@192.168.0.25/report.xlsx";
Regards,
Matthias
