SFTP connection problems (Remote file not found)

August Connolly 11 years ago in iPad updated 11 years ago 4

I'm trying to connect to my Ubuntu server over sftp, but it keeps giving me the error 'Remote File not Found.'

I've tested sftp on my server with winSCP, which worked perfectly, and I have tried using textastic's logs to get a better idea of what's going on. It seems to be connecting (which is confirmed by my server logs), but after the line 'Authentication Complete,' it tells me:

"Could not open directory for reading: No such file or directory." I've tried several directories, including my home directory and root, but they all throw the same error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

AppleScript support

Tyler Richardson 10 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 4
I have just purchased this app for £6 specifically because the website advised that the app supported it and no other app could.

i find myself highly disappointed that this app does not work as advertised.

i am reserving my review score of this app until a member of technical support can address this ultimate failure to deliver what has been paid for.

Dark screen keyboard for iOS7

Ulises del Rosal 11 years ago in iPad updated 11 years ago 2

New iOS7 keyboard is allmost white -very uncomfortable in dark ambience- but I've seen that sometimes it appears dark (I don't know why...). Just imagine how usefull would be to switch to a dark theme and keyboard when typping in low light!!

Long folder name

chuho chang 11 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 6

I can't see a folder name when it is too long.

Please check below link.

I think that Dropbox's iPAD app solves this problem cleverly.


Thank you for the great app. :-)

error Document Picker - both Google Drive and Working Copy

Tim Burgan 8 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 8 years ago 2

Hello


I'm using Textastic 5.3.1 on iOS 9.1 on an iPad Air.


I haven't used textastic for a few weeks, but today I just went to open a file from my Working Copy repository and Textastic shows error: Failed to Launch 'Working Copy'. The document picker Working Copy failed to launch (0).


I thought it was a problem with Working Copy and I saw it had an update in the app store, so I just updated it but it stil has the error.


I decided to try to open a file from Google Drive but it also gave the same error. So it seems like something may be amis with Textastics functionality under iOS 9.1 ?


Thanks

Tim

don't use Google Drive file type

etoileBleu 9 years ago in iPad updated by Josh Shortlidge 7 years ago 11

The Google drive file type grays out files, so you cannot open them in iPad Textastic.


1. Files uploaded that can be changed to Google Docs will get the Google file type. Textastic will not open those files (show up as grayed out). Even a plain text *.txt file will be changed to Google file type and then you cannot open in Textastic.


2. Coding files, in plain text, has all kinds of crazy extensions. Google doesn't know those so it sets the file type as Binary. Textastic grays those files out so you cannot open them from Google Drive.


(horrible) workaround: change the file extension to .xml then upload. It is okay to remove the .xml extension in Drive after as the file type will not change.

If you upload .txt then you must uncheck the option "convert to Google Docs format" beforehand.


In both cases the exact same file will open fine locally on the iPad

Basically, it is an annoyance from Google. But I would much rather that you let me try to open a file first, rather than block me from opening. They are all text files.


I want to use Textastic for coding, and this would be a big help using Google Drive to open files

Text area under keyboard

Wesley Penner 10 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 10 years ago 4
When my document gets longer than about 100 lines, the document won't scroll to the end, so the area where I want to add new text is blocked by the keyboard.

Rotating the screen  helps sometimes, but is inconsistent. Leaving the app helps sometimes. Copying the doc and pasting it back in helps sometimes. Sometimes none of these tricks work.

it is most likely to occur when leaving and returning to the app.

Error after opening file with ownCloud

Andreas Neumann 9 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 8 years ago 7
Every time I open a file via ownCloud, change something and then stop editing, I get an error "der Vorgang konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden (Cocoa Fehler 4). But when I switch to the owncloud-app I see, that the file gets uploaded.
Could you have a look into this, please?
Great app anyway!

Carlin Canales 11 years ago in iPad updated 11 years ago 4

When i preview a page and try to enable firebug nothing happens. i'm connected to the internet. It was working fine before the most recent update. Not sure if this is a known bug or just something i'm doing wrong. if i open the preview and click on the remote button and enable firebug it works fine, but not when in local view.

viewing documents on Textastic? and a question about coding Markdown

Beth Chaplin 11 years ago in iPad updated by Alexander Blach (Developer) 11 years ago 4
Hi there -

Please help me in my ignorance; I've just discovered Markdown, but I am having trouble finding an iOS editor that implements it very well.  I believe Textastic supports MultiMarkdown.
1. Does it also support some html tags in a Markdown document, such as the following syntax for internal links in a document:

[Calendar](#calendar)

and

##### CALENDAR

2. And is this a good app for VIEWING Markdown documents? That would be its main function, for me, though the ability to code on the iPad is nice to have.
Thanks!
Beth
