I'm probably only goofball that develops on cellphone full-time anyway How would you go about doing that (I currently don't own a phone just don't want one) but it would be pretty decent to do. How would you exactly go about extracting the files back to your desktop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I don't own a PC or laptop right now. I have to upload to FTP(how one would transfer though). Then browse to my site. And reupload. I rather be able to work on my files and check for errors locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magictallguy Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I once turned a Sony Xperia XA2 into a portable fileserver, but not a webserver. That being said, I haven't owned any kind of mobile device for about a year now and code from my desktop only 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterisgb Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I tried working on my site when my pc broke earlier this year, It was REALLY hard to do anything on a mobile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure beats £1200 ish for a phone. Surprisingly though there must be a market for doing this, just by the looks of the Play Store search results for HTTP server. Quite an interesting idea, but from a personal standpoint, I'd much rather stick the the desktop/laptop. - Bought a Surface Pro for on-the-go work/dev work but yet still fallback to the main PC, the surface is now a fancy albeit expensive web cam for Zoom/Microsoft Teams meetings and that's about it, makes the additional £250 keyboard (MS:Money Grabbers) seem a little bit pointless ha... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterisgb Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I didn't think of looking at the play store. I tried to use cpanel file manager on the Web browser (opera for me) and trying to edit files is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I do it cause I don't have the money to purchase any netbook, laptop or PC. I am actually getting find of using my phone. Im able to code on bus stops, the bus. In between driving from jobs while at work. Could you imagine bringing a laptop to work doing home improvement and start coding while driving from job to job? I am use to it now sorry of. It's not slower. And my eyes struggle after staring at this little screen for hours on end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Easier on the eyes) - Microsoft Surface is pretty decent they have a ‘GO’ version which is a lighter (read:cheaper) option. Or just a basic android tablet? Like $50.

peterisgb Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I have this dongle thing that allows me to plug my mouse and keyboard into my phone. I can hook anything with USB upto my phone. The ps3 controller has been the most oddest thing to hook up to the phone lol. 😄 Edited August 31, 2020 by peterisgb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
