unlisted workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: ::: Processes the currently open text file in Editorial

::: Uploads the contents of the text file to an FTP host. Overwrites any existing file with the same path and name. Will request and store your user name and password on first run.

::: Must edit the the following variables in the Python script with your own connection details >> remotePath, host, port
