File upload to raspberry PIratebox with android devices
September 02, 2013 01:11PM
Hello, loving piratebox on my rpi. I have an issue when connecting to the piratebox with an android device though, when I try uploading files using a file manager app it launches the app then immediately goes back to the piratebox index page this is the same if I use numerous 3rd party file managers. If i upload a picture file using a gallery app etc it's fine. I'm not having this problem uploading from any other platform (winblows, debianlaptop, maemo n810 etc) but just with either my droid phone or tablet.

Hi,
this sounds very strange.
Can you post your android version and the version of piratebox you are using? You can find the PirateBox version in "/opt/piratebox/version"

best wishes Matthias

Sorry for delay...so I'm using the current custom image for raspberry pi thats linked in your raspberry pi tutorial, and I haven't tweaked anything. My android phone is running Android 4.1.2 and my tablet is running 4.1...it seems to do the same whatever browser I use on the android devices..dolphin, firefox, opera mini, and using different filemanagement apps (astro,my files, file manager) results in the same..so if I hit browse to upload files on the index page i get a window with a selection of apps to use to browse files and if I pick a file manager app it loads the app for a split second then kicks back to the index page if that makes sense.

But on the windows system it works, right .

Did you try a different file browser?

Sounds strange for me, but I believe you. winking smiley
