# File Transfer for Pythonista
# ============================
# This script allows you to transfer Python files from
# and to Pythonista via local Wifi.
# It starts a basic HTTP server that you can access
# as a web page from your browser.
# When you upload a file that already exists, it is
# renamed automatically.
# From Pythonista's settings, you can add this script
# to the actions menu of the editor for quick access.
