Any way to transfer data to PC without going through web server?

I need to get some data from a form a user filled out to my PC. I know I can go through a web server using web services. Any other shortcut with Corona? I see other apps that does this for you but anything through corona? Only other way I know of it to have a small web server on the PC and pass it that way.

Thanks,

You can transfer data via TCP and UDP, so you could,

  1. write a simple app  ‘A’ that can connect to your client app ‘B’ 

  2. In both apps, include code to connect over the web.

  3. Have App B transfer data to app A while running app A on the simulator.

  4. Have app A save data to disk.

  5. Done.

Sounds elaborate, but its pretty straightforward with AUTOLAN: http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/AutoLAN/

Of course, this is NOT a great solution if the app B device is somewhere else.  You can make it work, but it’s more pailful.  Howver, it sounds like you want to do this ‘locally’?  i.e. on the same network?

Alternate solution: Have the client app package the data in a table.  JSON encode the table, and send the  resulting data in an e-mail to your PC.  Then, you can use another simple app to decode that data and do something with it.
