Moving script and pyui files from iPad to iphone

SillySoviet

Any pointers for moving scripts and associates UI's from iPad to iPhone? All thumbed out from googling and searching this forum. Loving the app, would love to have the work on the phone. Thanks guys

If you have both devices then for me the easiest way is to use any kind of bluetooth sharing app which is installed on both iphone and ipad. You can get a free version of what I think is best app at:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bluetooth-u-share-files-photo/id526268815?mt=8

Some reviewers claim the free version does not work but I can't attest to it as I have the paid version where everything works ok. There are other bluetooth connnect/share/transfer files at the app store but I find this one was the easiest for either device to see and connect to the other. This way you don't need any dependence on a pc or mac or other machine to host the file transfer, just exchange files directly then use a file manager application such as iFile from Cydia on the target device to to move/copy files if necessary to Pythonista app.

If you have a Dropbox account, you can use the Dropbox sync script posted on the forums (just search the forums for it). I could also post an FTP sync script that I’m working on so you can use an FTP server if you want.

The problem with Bluetooth transfer is that it is very tedious to import the scripts as there is no “Open in Pythonista” feature in Pythonista (Apple’s rules).

Thank you guys. @Gerzer, I'll try the dropbox sync first, hopefully that will go easy. If not, I'll come back here and shamelessly ask for more help. Thank you.

@SillySoviet: Here’s the link to the Dropbox sync post I was referring to: https://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/post/6675908186341376

@ltddev: That requires a jailbroken device ;-)

ErrorResponse: [400] u"App folder (sandbox) access attempt failed because this app is not configured to have an app folder.  Should your access type be 'dropbox' instead?"

thoughts?

@polymerchm, read the last line of the traceback. Most likely you selected the wrong access type when generating your access token. Make sure that you gave it access to the entire Dropbox folder, not just an app-specific subfolder. You may need to recreate the access key to change this setting.

polymerchm

I thought that was internal to python. will try.

polymerchm

Working. Was the access_type variable in droboxlogin.py. RTFM. But what I really want with more selective saving.

@williamgreen possible spam, joined 17 mins ago just to advertise an app.

@polymerchm @dgelessus I'm not sure you need the whole dropbox folder. I have it configured such that a folder in dropbox is named "PythonistaDropper" and contains all the stuff in pythonista. When it has you login to dropbox and select a folder choose a specific folder. I believe there is folder in dropbox called "Apps" that contains all your connected apps unless they have whole dropbox permissions...

This is cool. actually, there are many free programs that have such features.

Does the link work for you? When I try to open it, I only get "Access Denied
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that you do not have access to."

I use the free app Pushbullet , all the time to shift information between my ios devices and pc too.
I find it very simple to use.

It is not difficult.the iPhone and the iPad is iOS devices , you just need to connect iPhone and iPad , then you can switch from iPhone to iPad , and transfer data between iPhone and iPad ,
