I’ve tried several apps from the App Store but all require creating a Connection involving IP Address and host and so on, which I don’t have any idea about. I’d like something that just helps me start off without the need of a connection OR if anyone could assist me with connection details for practice. Thank you.

I am trying to create a custom connection to a server that is SMB1. I want to be able to connect a button action to make this connection and bring up the files in a document picker. I feel like I have scoured the internet and can't find any sort of documentation or help here. I would love to do it through the files app built in to iOS but sadly it won't make the connection with this SMB1 server.
I'm really trying to not use a cocoapod or some other external code source if possible. I know this may be a futile task, but I know it is possible since FileExplorer is able to make this connection easily.
Thanks in advance!
Honestly I don't even know where to start with this. Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
It might be worth looking at the VS File Manager application. It allows connections to all SMB servers.

I would like to add a feature to my rails (5.0.1) application and have it only available on a certain wifi network.
Is there a way of finding out what wifi network the user is on?
Thank you!
Your question doesn't provide quite enough context. The short answer is "probably not how you want to." The long answer is:
If you're concerned about what network a user of your application is on, you can use request.remote_ip to get the remote IP,
If you're concerned about where your application is deployed, you can run a system command to get the current Wifi SSID (or equivalent) and run a check against that
Edit: Per your comment you want the ability to ensure that the user is only using it on your private network.
One way you can do this is to make the application not accessible from the outside world. This is a better question for something like serverfault.com
It's simply not possible to detect what Wifi network name they're connected to from Rails, or from Javascript (exceptions apply). But, you can, with a little sysadmin work, detect that they're connected to an IP within your private network.
I've got an old connection log to a website which contains the IP addresses, the user agent string and the timestamp.
I want to know how many of them used 3G to access a website as I suspect there is a latency issue.
Now I know that I can use some code to have this info directly from the user.
But I still want to process this old log using only IP addresses even if it is only for one ISP.
I thought I could do that by finding a list of the subnets used for 3g.
Do you think it can be done?
Otherwise, what do you suggest?
Hope you can help.
Cheers,
One approach could be to lookup every IP using "whois" services, if the ISP listed is a phone carrier only, you can be certain the connection was made by a mobile connection.
This is not a total solution, but it might give you enough information.
Now, to find a service which will allow you to make all the requests required, might be another matter.
I am trying to implement a sort of chat between multiple IPhones, where one IPhone serves as a server and the rest connect to it. I have a main server which the rest of the phones get data on the connection, but I am not sure what data to send.
I know the IP of cellphones is highly dynamic, and I am not sure how to track the change of the IP and how to connect to it, and keep the connection while the IP changes.
I have read a bit about GCDAsyncSockets and know ho to listen to connections, but it still requires a static IP. Is it even possible? I mean I read around and it sounds like it is possible, but I really have no Idea how.
So I have been looking every where, and so far i haven't been able to find anything that allows me to ssh from an iPhone app, and have finally resorted to posting a new pos.
So I am trying to make an app to manage servers and part of the tasks that I need to be able to do it to be able to some how remotely connect over the internet to a server with either an ip address or a DNS name.
The connection to the server does not necessarily need to be a SSH connection, it could be a telnet although because of the security issues i would prefer SSH (if it is a lot less code I would accept telnet), but on the other hand it could be some other type of connection.
The application just needs to be able to run a script on the server end and if a SSH or telnet I would not need any help but if some other type of connection i may need a bit of help. Also the server on the other end is intended to be linux server (either ubuntu or gentoo, but not sure which yet but all i can say is will almost certainly be a linux server operating system).
I have already looked at the libssh/2 and would welcome any other similar demos as have not been able to work out how get the frameworks to work as well as licensing issues with using the frameworks in it.
PS. I am relatively new to programming and although i have some basic knowledge of coding some type of tutorial or sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks For Any Help

SSH is a hugely complicated beast. As long as you only need to execute one command without interactivity, it sounds like you could achieve the same thing by running a web server on the server and posting the commands via HTTP from the device. You can use SSL to achieve security. You'll need a mechanism that allows you to authenticate the device (you'd need something with ssh, too). And you'll have to have something in the web server on the server that figures out and runs the desired script. But all that is still hugely easier than dealing with libssh.
