Pull/Import files from PC Host to the Device

Is there a way using the Compact Framework to implement a "pull" or import
of files from a Host PC's hard drive while cradled? We would like to avoid
having to release a PC application used to "push" the files from the PC to
the mobile device which we know can be done.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing that doesn't require you to do substantial work on both ends, no.
You could share a folder on the PC and have your code on the device attach
to the shared folder and get its contents, I guess, or have an FTP or HTTP
server running on the PC (or a sockets program of your own), to which you'd
connect from the device. Sending files from the PC to the device is the
intended mode of operation...

The easiest method is to write a web service thats hosted on the server -
maybe WCF.
