Send Data/Text From iOS to Desktop App on LAN?

[JOHN PATTEN]

Okay…

Found this related to shell scripts and the 255 error…

Not sure what to do about it though…?

It does appear to be a permission error. If I run:   sudo /bin/mkdir ~livecodetest from the terminal it will create my folder. But how would that work in a stack?

Thanks!
