read a list of notebooks on server and bring into browser only notebook

[davidjensen]

I am new to ipython notebook. I cannot determine how to read in a browser notebook on the server. The notebooks are currently saved in root. how do I load them into the browser?

I'm not sure of what you mean.

In command line :

ipython notebook --your-options

... a browser window should open on http://localhost:8888 or to what you have configured.

You can upload .ipynbfile by draging them on the window, or by clicking on click here.

If you want to download them, open one, go to File > Dowload As > IPython (.ipynb)

I am running only in the browser. ipython is on the server and I am trying to "read", "load" notebooks from the server.

• cannot drag files into browser on local machine
• "click here" is for the local machine
  thanks

The server only serve ipynb ile from one folder.

You should either run it with --notebookdir=path/to/your/files
Or copy/mv the ipynb files to where the server is currently running; which can be seen by !pwd on a freshly created kernel, or in the dashbord.

you can use ! any commandto execute it on the distant machine.

I think this means:

• the dashboard has all the notebooks in one folder., so there is no need to load them.
• copy/mv will put all needed ipynb files to the current directory which will then show them in the dashboard
