PyAnywhere>>Dashboard>>UploadAPP>>ChooseFile can't choose app folder from windows 10

[JoeCodeswell]

Hi folks,
I'm having fun now that I'm on PythonAnywhere. Thanks for the good stuff.

My problem is that the pythonAny dashboard is not letting me choose a folder on my dev machine which is windows 10.
I vaguely recall that on windows there is a 'choose file' dialog & a separate 'choose folder' dialog.
Anyway here's a screenshot.

Thanks again.
Love and peace,
Joe

I'm guessing you have to upload a zip file. I'm away from my computer so can't test. Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the help. I tried as you suggested using a .zip file.
Here's a printout of the zip.
jtsmsgs.zip.pdf

I couldn't tell by the dashboard UI when the upload was done processing.

After 10 minutes of waiting, i used Putty to view the app templates.
I noticed that zetc.html was missing.

0:43 ~ $ cd /home/DELETED/jtsmsgs/templates
20:51 ~/DELETED/jtsmsgs/templates $ ls
README.md  auth.html  generic.html  index.html  layout.html

I have tried 3 times to use the dashboard to delete the app -- no good.

Anyway, thanks for the help, Jim.

Love and peace,
Joe

Sorry I couldn't be more help, I'm not much of a user of the dashboard. Can you use the pythonanywhere file manager to upload the directory that you need?

Hi, Jim.
I'm going to try sftp.
I hope someone looks at this to shake out the dashboard.
Thanks, Jim.
Love and peace,
Joe

Sorry for the very late response. Indeed you have to upload a zip file. I would recommend creating a simple app using the _dashboard, download it using the _dashboard, and upload it again with a different name. Does that work? If not, could you send me the generated zip?
