Help for transfering files between WinCE device and PC !

[Thomas]

Hi group !

I've a quite big problem : I've an application on a WinCE device and
it needs to connect automatically (after clicking on a button when the
device is on the docking station) to a PC and to send and receive some
files.
The target PC is not directly the PC which is connected to the device
but a server located on the local network (no internet connection).

My idea was to connect the WinCE device to the FTP service of the
server through the PC connected to the docking station. I try to use
"Wininet.dll" but I'm not sure at all that it will work. I don't know
if it is the best solution, maybe there are more simple ways to do
this operation.

If my problem is not clear, ask me for more explanations, I will try
to remember my english lessons !

Thank your for your answers !

Thomas

If I don't recall wrong, ActiveSync has that feature, you set it up in your
partnership on your desktop that the device is connecting through. Can you
use ActiveSync?

ActiveSync will 'synchronize' a file set with those files stored in a
certain location on the PC it's partnered with. When you connect the PPC to
the PC, it automatically updates any of the files which are out of date.

As it seems, you cannot syncronize files between device and server, only
between device and desktop, so the idea kinda falls there. I think there is
some kind of ActiveSync API (or?), maybe it has some information and a way
of managing the activesync partnership. To be honest I don't know much about
this, just wanted to point you in a possible direction where you could find
a solution.
