about 9.4 megabits per second or about a half gigabyte per minute. Anyone who says this brilliant system is "obvious" Isn't that too slow to be practical ? Paul |

Hi Paul, You're generally helpful and not sarcastic so I am not sure what you're saying, because, on the iOS newsgroup, they've been spending a week and they still haven't solved this simple problem (their vaunted AirDrop method keeps crapping out, for example). USB is as fast as it gets, is it not? Ignoring the fact that my desktop is ancient (Windows 7 vintage), do you have a faster cross platform method that requires zero software and works on every common consumer device? If so, I'm all ears - but I can't imagine that you have a better solution. |

That's what I mean by practical. I could walk from coast to coast, with the boast that "walking is free". But the time it would take to walk from coast to coast would be a Pyrrhic victory. If someone said, "how could you get from coast to coast for free", then "walking" would be a bar bet solution, not a practical one. You could transfer files between computers, using FSK over the audio output. As an example of a bar bet technique. Yes, I'm doing it without cables. Yes, just about any device could do it (even my ZX81 which provides the inspiration for the technique), but hell would freeze over before I'd get my files. Paul |

The photos are simply a test case because Ant, on the iOS newsgroups, is having a devil of a time transferring 396 photos where nospam is leading Ant on a futile wild goose chase with imaginary functionality that even nospam knows doesn't exist. That's why I did the 400 test files named ant001 to ant400, but most of the time I use this to copy scores of gigabytes of movies to the iOS iPad. You don't seriously think we should email entire movies, do you? That's what I mean by practical. Thanks for explaining Paul, because I know you're not a troll. The main use is for movies which are easy to download on Windows and then transfer to iOS. In fact, you'll note the first testcase was a set of 14 movies that were copied from the Windows filesystem to iOS' VLC storage space. Since VLC is "smarter" than the default iOS apps, it allowed me to write to its storage space without needing the trick that I forgot. But when I ran that test of the 400 files for Ant, I realized I had skipped the step that makes *any* visible directory on the iOS iPad wrietable. I still haven't seen _anyone_ prove they know that trick, which is kind of hiliarious when you think about how many people used their dunning-kruger skills to claim this clearly brilliant method, was "obvious". I don't mean this to be haughty to you Paul, since I know you know more than I'll ever know, and since I'm just average in knowledge of networking .... but.... you have to admit that it's hilarious that nobody knows what I know about making iOS writeable - and yet - they all declare the method obvious. What that tells me is that people like nospam, Jason, and the others (I don't remember them all) are actually clearly proving that they're on the low end of the Dunning-Kruger scale of skills self assessment. They think they're so smart - but - they can't even do what they say is obvious. I wouldn't bother to point this out since I'm trying to help people do what I can do - but I point it out to counter their idiotic claims that it's "obvious". HINT: If it's so obvious - why can't anyone actually prove they can do it? I could walk from coast to coast, with the boast that "walking is free". But the time it would take to walk from coast to coast would be a Pyrrhic victory. If someone said, "how could you get from coast to coast for free", then "walking" would be a bar bet solution, not a practical one. Paul ... I get the metaphor ... but are you seriously suggesting to copy 14 standard-sized movie files by email from the Windows filesystem to iOS and Android? I posit that there isn't anything faster or easier than USB but if you have a better faster easier free method then let us know. Just please don't be like the Apple Apologists like nospam who *claim* all sorts of imaginary functionality that *never* exists when you ask him to name the method or to prove that it works. Those Apple Apologists are not normal people - they're all children. You could transfer files between computers, using FSK over the audio output. As an example of a bar bet technique. Yes, I'm doing it without cables. Yes, just about any device could do it (even my ZX81 which provides the inspiration for the technique), but hell would freeze over before I'd get my files. I don't even *understand* what you wrote there, Paul. Given you can't be serious about emailing 14 movies that transfer in minutes over USB directly from the Windows filesystem to iOS or Android, I'm not sure if you're not just joking. If you do have a *better* (faster, free, easier) method than USB, please let me know - but don't play the silly games nospam plays. That guy nospam proves he has a fifth grade mentality in every post. |

You nospam, can only prove that you have the mentality of a fifth grader. I'm still waiting for you to tell us *how* I managed to write to iOS's file system in directories like DCIM that are not normally writeable via USB. And from the other Dunning-Kruger folks, I am waiting for them to tell me what step I missed - since they all exclaimed this method was "obvious". The fact that this group has so many fifth-grade children so full of **** is disconcerting since all the naysayers are silent when I ask them to simple prove how "obvious" it is to them. The fact is the method is brilliantly simple & fantastically powerful. So far, nobody on the planet, has a better (faster, easier, more universal) method than the one I proposed. It's NOT obvious - until I tell you the tricks. Then it's obvious - but you'd never come up with them on your own. Particularly nospam, who can only hit buttons MARKETING provided him. |
