HTML & templates / Re: Mobile Template

« on: October 26, 2009, 10:21:56 AM »

Thanks Bacter. At least I now got the straight information. When the websearches mixes JB options with non-JB options it becomes confusing what i-things can and cannot do. Your post is the first I have seen that does confirm Safari's lack of feature, at least that I have seen.
Keep in mind that this Ipod Touch is my first Apple product. I'm not a fan boy and probably never will be.

Since quite a few apps currently allow for both pc and iphone side servers and downloading to the i-things over the web(or network), logic seems to say that if other companies can provide for these apps on a non-JB i-thing, then all we need is for an app developer to write one that would works with HFS. I noticed some talk about FTP support at one point. Maybe an option.

The main frustration for me was not knowing. Thats why I posted.
Thanks for your help.

I'm not questioning your support at all. Just expressing the frustration that solutions exist but it seems that no one (including other posters here) wants to address it.
If people are using iphone templates with HFS then there must be a way to download files to the iphone via Safari. Otherwise they would just install one of 100s of server apps that turns the iphone into a file server. I'd rather use HFS on the PC side then use an app on the iphone side.
The advantage is access to my PC files without sitting next to the PC.

Here is an example of an iphone side app:

It seems a very simple task to pair one of these iphone server apps with HFS without having to do any programming. I'll keep looking for an open source file server that will blend well with HFS and post here.

My apologies for venting my frustrations.

Why are you dissing a loyal HFS user who wants to extend his HFS use to an ipod touch?
Considering there are 37 million iphones/ipodtouches on the market, one would think making HFS useful to this market would have great benefits to rejetto. Especially if only 1% of those new users donate. You could even charge $2 for an app that accesses HFS and most of us would pay for it.
There are already a few PC-side access apps on the market, but none that allow iphone-side access to a PCs server.
Do you really think Apple is going to address this when the burden obviously falls on the file server developer.

Your flippant response was very misplaced.

This forum was my last resort. I've been search the net for weeks. I was under the impression that the safari plugin is for JB ipods. Cannot find any apps or plugins for a non-JB ipod.

Been playing around with the iphone template, but I have a newbie question.

How do I get Safari to download the files to the iphone via the browser links?
Or is this just for streaming?

HTML & templates / Need file transfer help from iphone or Itouch users

« on: October 09, 2009, 05:17:59 PM »

Well, for weeks I struggled with getting HFS's archiving to work with my Nokia N810 and after several great support sessions and a beta tweak, it works great. Even donated. But now the wife likes her new Ipod Touch and need HFS to come through again.

Basically, I have found an iphone template and its working on a rough level, where can I find more templates?
Anyway, here are the issues:

1. Plenty of apps will create a server on the iphone, but I'm looking for a way to transfer files to/from PC to Iphone via the Iphone wirelessly without having to control the transfer from my PC's browser. Seems simple, but Safari doesn't allow downloading of files to the Iphone via a weblink. Is there a trick to this or an app that will allow this?

2. Once that is solved. How would one control placement of those files on the Iphone. Is there a file manager or file system?

3. Does the IPhone OS support HFS's archived files? What apps can unzip them?

4. Since I just bought the Itouch I didn't want to JB it. Can all this be done without JBing the Itouch?

Would appreciate some help. I'm an Apple newbie.
