Fixed my issues

Brilliant, I’d been struggling to add a html file on my home screen to act like an app, this fixed it. Worth the money for sure

Hilfreich und einfach zu nutzen

Nachdem ich lange nach einer App zum Vorschau-Anzeigen von Html Dateien gesucht habe bin ich hier fündig geworden - ohne schwierige Anleitung - einfach installieren und html Datei in den ausgewählten Ordner kopieren und in der App den Browser starten - schon sieht man die Datei wie im Internet - simple und gut !!!

Useful - Once I was able to select a folder

I was trying to use this to copy some files over from my iPad to my laptop and had some difficulty getting it to work (probably due to my own inexperience with iOS) so I'm sharing the steps I had to take in case it saves anyone else some trouble:

I was unable to select a folder from within the app, the "Open" button in the files popup was disabled for any folder I navigated to. Instead I had to open the Files app and use the "Share" option for the folder I was interested in serving with Tiny Server.

Also, this is almost certainly an issue with my router but I had to switch to the 2.4 GHz network for my connection to go through (however connecting the device to itself in Safari was never a problem) otherwise the connection would hang and eventually time out.

Will Not Start

Was happy to pay the reasonable amount requested but was disappointed that I could not start the server. Selected a folder on an attached USB flash drive. Several seconds after clicking the “Start Server” button the app crashes. Downloaded on my iPhone running iOS 15.6.1.

Response from developer

Hi Howard, sorry that the app crashed on you. I haven’t been able to reproduce a crash, the app works with an external drive for me. Could you please send an email to tinyserver@christian-lobach.de? Then we can look at the problem together. - Christian
