8 years ago With the File Transfer thing I can no longer add saved games to iFrotz via http (FTP seems to work but it's read-only by default in Forefox and I haven't the patience to hunt for FTP managers right now). It may be because of the sheer number of games I have - their names don't even display. I get a list of PLUS signs at the left of the screen, and clicking them gives me a list of the saved games associated with the game.
When I click the bit for importing a saved game (I can download them ok), I get the file browser asking for a file upload. I select the file... then nothing happens. I don't even see an "ok" button to confirm and start the process, is there supposed to be one?

I use iMazing to transfer games to and from my iPod. I put them in FileApp, a very nice file-managing app with an Explorer-like structure of folders. It works a treat.
I used to also use iMazing to access the save folder of Frotz, so I could transfer my saved games. But it's not possible any more, due to that restriction where you can only access apps with sharing-thingammy enabled.
I'd never seen this before because I'd made a shortcut of the SAVES folder in iMazing, and apparently that bypassed the whole thing! But I had a problem with my iPod, it had to be replaced, and I had to re-register it with iMazing and now I've lost my shortcuts.
I can still use the FIle Transfer thing, but it's nowhere near as convenient.
