FTP Content Question

I have been toying with an idea for a lossy text compression news reader. I wanted to see what would happen if I FTP’ed my sandbox files onto the device. I assumed that its just like putting files up on any old web server. It seems like there are background processes doing something when I put files up. The UI locks up and requires a reboot each time I upload a file.

At this point I dumped an HTML file and 2 js files into the root (folder where manual is) and rebooted. The librarian app is loading my HTML file into an iFrame. My content functions fine inside the iFrame so all is well there.

Wondering what the best way to upload content so I can test out my ideas.

Thanks,

yes, librarian indexes the files. You mention uploading the html files worked. So which files were causing the lockup?

My initial impression was “oh no” its not allowing HTML files with JavaScript. One test file was HTML only and did not seem to care. The thing it seemed to choke on is an HTML file that references 2 js files. I need to do more testing to be sure.
