You can stop the server on this device at any time by tapping on this icon to the right of the path breadcrumb.

  • From FileBrowser's "Home" screen, tap "+ Add Location"
  • Select "iPad/iPhone"
  • Tap "Scan Now" and wait for the shared device to appear
  • Enter the user name "fb" or "filebrowser" and the password (if you haven't yet set one on the other device in its Config, leave the box empty)
  • Tap the newly created location to connect and browse.
