Log files import from ipad/iphone to desktop

hey guys

what do you guys use to import/log files for PPK??

from an ipad or iphone it allows to send an email to export the UBX file

but if i don’t have any wifi connection what app do you guys use to export or transport the file?

i have icloud but storage is full at the moment.

I doubt many people would do it this way, and it might be seen as a bit backward, but I use the USB cable and a Linux PC.

It is as simple as this at the command line:

mkdir todays_base_logs
(plug Reach in to PC with USB cable)
ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.2.1
scp -r root@1921.68.2.15:* todays_base_logs/
(remove USB cable)

After you run ifconfig to bring up the usb0 interface you can also open ReachView in your broswer by going to http://192.168.2.15

That command backs up the entire ‘home’ directory, so it grabs all logs and survey projects.

The ipconfig line may be a bit different depending on your distribution/version.

I too have tried to use the iPad email route and it does not work consistently so I normally revert to connecting my laptop to the receiver’s hotspot and it is flawless. Only disadvantage I have experienced is that I disable my Ethernet before I join the WiFi.
