Mobile is case-sensitive, desktop isn't. The "documents" folder should be
all lower case.
If that's not the problem then show us the lines of script that both create
the file path and retrieve it.

Added info:
I’ve tried putting the files in “cache”, in the “Documents” folder
directly, and using
put URL ("file:"&tFile)
to store the data. Didn’t change anything.
I also looked at the lesson on reading and writing livecode files. Nothing
helps.
I’m using Livecode Business 9.6.0 on a Mac running 10.15.5
This is the last hurdle I have before am finished with this project. Any
suggestions would be mucho appreciated.
Best,

Folks:
I’m having a very weird problem writing then reading the same file on ios.
I must be missing something very basic. I’ve checked the path to the file
when it is written and it matches exactly to the path when I try to read
it. In the read routine, I check for the file’s existence and it says it
doesn’t. But when I write the file and immediately check for the file’s
existence (in the same handler), it says it exists. I’ve checked the path
with the debugger and the path it writes to is exactly the same as the path
it looks for the file in.
I must be missing something very basic. It works on my dev system, but in
the phone, it can’t find the files it just wrote. Is there some kind of
permission needed? I’m stumped.
Please enlighten me. There must be some really, really basic thing I’m missing.
Thanks,
Bill
