Error uploading: request body stream exhausted

Error uploading: request body stream exhausted


I've been getting this error for awhile when uploading to a particular server. I get the error with WebDAV or SFTP. It seems to happen with most files. Smaller files are more likely to succeed. I use another WebDAV/FTP app with no problems with this server. Not sure if it's a Textastic issue or something with the server.

Thanks!

ssh macro

Jorge 5 months ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 5 months ago 1

In ios SSH terminal is awesome… here is an idea. I normally use the same commands over an over. It would be nice if there were a drop down menu with pre-dermined lines of ssh commands. ssh macros.

The macros can be a plist file that the key is the name of the macro displayed in the drop down in the terminal, and the value is the ssh command(s) to be sent through the terminal. Of course the plist should be editable in texstastic

What do you think?

How to add Markdown snippets to Textastic

Peter Anderson 6 months ago in iPad 0

Textastic is a great plain text editor; I think it's the BBEdit for iOS!


I use Textastic for writing and reviewing Markdown documents. However, it's not a perfect solution. One major omission is a snippets function; for example if you want to format a block of text you have to mark up the text before and after the selected text and often this can be difficult. Snippets is an enhancement I've often requested for Textastic.

Now I've found a workable solution.


There is an iOS app called Text Case. Its primary function is to change the case of selected text (a useful feature that Textastic does not include). But Text Case is extensible and you can add your own functions ("flows" in Text Case speak) using a large number of built-in functions. Two such built-in functions are "add a prefix" and "add a suffix" to a selected text block.


So you can add, for example, your own Markdown underline function. The custom function building process is very simple. The attached screenshot shows several Markdown "flows" I've created. Then you simply select and copy the text to be underlined, app switch to Text Case and choose the new "Underline Selection" function, app switch back to Textastic and paste the marked-up text. For example:


This text needs to be underlined.


Follow the process above and you get…


This text needs to be underlined.


This is not perfect but it makes applying Markdown syntax to Textastic documents much easier.


If you have a better way of applying Markdown syntax in Textastic, please let me know.


Regards,

Peter

Button

alx 11 months ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 months ago 1

Hello. On ipad pro 12.9 in Split View mode (2 to 1, where 2 for Textastic) there are buttons to revoke/return the action in the horizontal position. But in the vertical they disappear, but there is enough space for them. This is inconvenient, because in order to cancel the action you need to turn the tablet to a horizontal position. Please fix this in the next version. Thank you. Respect for a very cool application.

Support using Alt as Meta key in SSH terminal

Ehsanullah Jan 1 year ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 1 year ago 1

In the macOS terminal, enabling the "Use Option as Meta key" option allows using a number of shortcuts to edit a command. For example, you can press Option + F to move forward by a word, Option + B to move back by a word, Option + Delete to delete a word and so on. There's no option in Textastic's SSH terminal to use Option as Meta key. instead, for example, pressing Option + F enters ƒ rather than moving forward by a word; ditto for other Option shortcuts.

The ask is for Textastic to offer a setting that will enable using Option as Meta key in the SSH terminal.
