I looked up previous user reports: for them, it happened when having multiple WebDAV connections to the same server URL, but with different user names and passwords.

Just to make sure: you are using different subdomains, right?

So one connection is to https://sub1.neocities.org/ and another is to https://sub2.neocities.org/

I think I heard a similar report from another user before.

I need to look into this more, but I believe the problem is that the WebDAV connections share the same session. So when you are connecting to the same domain, just a different subdomain, it will use the already established connection while it should actually try to authenticate again.

I don't have an environment like that to test at the moment, but I'll try to reproduce it.

Ok - it will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for letting me know!

It looks like iOS by default recognizes .as files as archive files, so Textastic thinks it's a binary file and shows it greyed out in file lists.

Please try to tap and hold the file and choose "Open as Text File" from the context menu of the file.

Does it work then?

I'll add .as to the list of known text files in an update.

Hi John,

thank you for your kind words! I’m really glad to hear that Textastic is working well for you. I appreciate your support and feedback!

Best,

Alexander

The macOS version and the iOS/iPadOS version of Textastic are two separate apps for two different platforms with different feature sets.

Notable, the macOS version doesn't have remote connection support and does not have a built-in web preview.

If you are not happy with the app, you can request a refund from Apple on the following website: https://reportaproblem.apple.com

Yeah, with Split View this is definitely possible on iPad.

I see. Yeah, please only add the parent folder as an external folder.


Textastic doesn't know the relationship between external folders. 

If you use the "Add External Folder…" command, the system presents the Files app user interface in a secure way (using XPC). 


When the user selects a folder, Textastic gets a so-called "security scoped URL" from the system. Opening this URL extends the app's sandbox so it can now access that folder.

Textastic has very limited information about folders opened in this way. For example, it does not know that folder "ChartUse" and "ChartClass" share the same parent folder.

That's why relative URLs only work within the same location (Local Files, iCloud, or an external folder).

Please also have a look at this topic in the manual: https://www.textasticapp.com/v10/manual/managing_files/local_files_icloud.html

It tries to explain the Local Files and iCloud locations as well as external folders.
