Connecting
One server, one password, two ways in.
From the AIPPics app
- In AIPPics, switch the repository to Desktop Server.
- The servers the app has found on your Wi-Fi are listed; pick yours. (If it isn't there, see Troubleshooting.)
- Enter the server's password and log in. You will not need the password again on that phone.
Besides your albums the phone also shows physical folders — real folders on the computer's disk, in a different colour. See Connecting to Desktop and SMB in the app's guide for the phone's side.
From a browser
Open http://<computer-address>:48651/ in any browser on the same network.
The bare address takes you straight to the web gallery
(/aippicsweb); the other pages of the server are:
| Address | What it is |
|---|---|
/ or /aippicsweb | the web gallery — see The web gallery |
/settings | the gallery's look-and-feel (theme, sizes) for this browser |
/admin | the admin page — see The admin page |
All three share one login in the same browser: sign in on one and the others open without asking again. Bookmark the gallery address.
Good to know
- Devices count. Every phone, desktop app or browser that is logged in counts as one connected device against your version's limit (3 on Demo, 4 on Free, unlimited on Plus), however many times it logs in. A lost device can be disconnected on the admin page (Authorization → Connected devices). See Account and Plus.
- Plain HTTP. Traffic on your network is not encrypted. Use the server only on a network you trust.
