Hi,
I've a problem
I've a external harddisk connected to a Router WiFi Alice Gate 2 Plus via USB.
The HD are seen by OSx and Windows.
I would read the files with LiveCode but don't see it.
I've made various test:
Code: Select all
put url "http://192.168.1.1/A/test/testo.txt" into tDati
put url "http://alicegate/A/test/testo.txt" into tDati
put url "binfile://alicegate/A/test/testo.txt" into tDati
put url "file://alicegate/A/test/testo.txt" into tDati
but without result
Any hints?
Thanks,
Paolo

Hi Paolo,
Try this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer file "Pick a file"
put it
end mouseUp
Select a file on your external drive and the messagebox will show you the path.

Simon thanks for the suggestion.
Code: Select all
put url("binfile://Volumes/A/test/testo.txt") into tDati
... and run ok on OSX and Windows...
but in iOS and Android? Any Idea?

Run the "answer file" command on Windows and you'll see it uses a different convention: the path is dependent on the mount point drive letter rather than the volume name (though in some respects not much different from the mount point permutations you'll see on OS X if you mount two drives with the same name). Two ways around that could be to check each drive for a specific file (if you're looking for one) based on the list returned from the LiveCode "volumes" function, or dive into the registry and obtain what you need from there (HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices if memory serves).
As for iOS - how does one mount an external drive there?

I believe most mobile devices access NASes via an HTTP interface. Perhaps your NAS provides one. Which NAS are you using?

I've solved the problem on Android
How I did it:
I've installed the app CifsManager with the rights of Root.
With CifsManager I've mounted the external HD in /mnt/ position.
My App reading the sql files without problems.
Only missing find a solution for iOS
