Copying files from PDA to desktop and vice versa using a PDA application developed using vb.net

[anujithsankar]

Hi,

Is there any way to copy files from PDA to desktop and vice versa using
a PDA application developed using vb.net. I got details of transfering
details using desktop application (using RAPI). But not sure abt the
file transfer using a PDA application. Active sync used is 4.1.

Any ideaa????

Hi,

You can use RAPI, you must import the functions for transfering files,

Hi,

See the SocketPro at www.udaparts.com.

Inside the package, you can see a sample CeFile to show you how to
exchange files between a pocket pc and a desktop. There are many other
samples to show you how to move files among any win32 machines (CE FULLY
supported).

The source files for both server and client are available to you inside
the package.

Hi,

The link that you mentioned give details of desktop application which
transfers files to and from PDA. But I would like have a PDA
application which does the same activity. I tried to use the same DLL
in PDA application that desktop utility used. But in vain. Can you
suggest any other possibility.

Thanks in advance

It should be obvious that you can't run a desktop component on a Windows CE
device, (especially since it probably doesn't even run the same type of
processor). If the desktop machine shares one or more folders, the Windows
CE device can connect to those network shares, potentially, and copy files
there. It should be clear that a *HUGE* security hole would be created if
you could just randomly transfer files to the PC from some random external
device, so no, that's definitely not an option.

You could also run an FTP or Web server on the PC and transfer files that
way.
