ilan Expert Licensed User Longtime User Apr 23, 2020 #2 thanx for that info this is very helpful. is there also a possibility to send a file via wifi from my pc (b4j app) to my b4i app? i was thinking of uploading the file to ftp and the download to the app but if there is a way to directly send the file it would be a better solution.
