Hi! The current server code does not support encryption, so a password protection makes little sense. We probably will implement it if we switch to a server base that does support it though.

If you're looking for a way to securely connect to your YACReaderLibrary on the go then I'd suggest using a VPN or a SSH tunnel. These will provide you with a secure connection to your home computer so you can treat YACReaderLibray just as if it was running in a local network.

The vpn or ssh tunnel is a good idea. SSH tunnels sound tricky, but are easy to do if you read about it.

The main problem is I'm stuck with ADSL so my upload speed is terrible, I can't browse my collection at that speed.

A better way to copy comics over would be good. My main issue is that lots of things are in directories and I can't copy them into the iTunes App directory, it ignores them.

Using the web server works, but if the screensaver kicks in the app stops working and I have to restart from the beginning and keep touching the ipad every few minutes to keep it live.

I don't think Apple let you run the webserver in the background like I would like, but could you accept directories of files in the itunes menu?

Yes, I personally like to use SSH tunnels when I only want to encrypt a part of my internet traffic or I want to tunnel a specific port.

I'm only involved in the open source part of YACReader, so I can't help you with the iOS related problems. The webserver should run in the background just fine though.

I have added support for folders trees through iTunes in 2.0. So you should be able to import the comics that way. What do you mean by "it ignores them"?

After you copy the files to YACReader using iTunes, you have to go to the import section and then tap the "Import" button just bellow the usb cable icon.

I just have imported almost 1GB of comics in various folders using this method right now, so I think that it is working fine.

Thanks Luis, I'll retry, I might've done something wrong.

Aha! The import button doesn't look like a button, just a word on the page, I didn't realise it was clickable. Working now.
