Well, there is no out of the box solution (as for example RAPI, for file
transfer from Desktop to PDA). However, there are several ways to
achieve it:

1. Install FTP server for desktop, then from your application use
OpenNETCF.Net.FTP [1] or [2];
2. By using HTTP Server (through PUT or POST method), see Alex Feinman's
example [3];
3. Use shared folder;
4. For desktop write a server application (socket based) then when PDA
is cradled it can comunicate with desktop through the known port.

The easiest (most error-prone?) way of doing it is using File.Copy(fromURI,
toURI); if you are accessing a network resource you will probably be asked
by the OS to enter your credentials.

I have network share folder on Desktop computer, but how can I access it
from Pocket PC. The OpenFileDialog don't show it as option and am
accessing only folders of the device.

This code snippet should work for you:

System.IO.File.Copy(@"\file", @"\\destination\destinationDir\file");

Gee... I shared a folder all the way and ran the code, but an IOException was
raised right away... Never thought such a simple idea worked. Did you get it
working this way ?

Yep, it works for me. IOException could be thrown because file already
exists, try this instead:

System.IO.File.Copy(@"\file", @"\\destination\Shared\file", true);
