Transfer file across network via Pocket PC

[61cygni]

Hi,

I have a pocket PC 2003 device and I'm trying to copy a text file I create over the network to a shared directory (over 802.11) does anyone know how this can be done.

Thanks in advance

Assuming you are authenticated and have a mapped connection to the shared folder you should be able to use the System.IO namespace. In there you will find the file object which has all of the file management tools you would need (ie: Copy). The only problem is that I'm guessing you are running the compact framework which doesn't have all of the same functionality as the full frame work. I can't remember if it chops out any of the system.io namespace functionality.

Rick,

I have a System.IO bit working and it's trying to the copy the file. I think the bit I'm missing is being an authenticated user. Although the handheld is on the wireless network

Regards,

Steve

Can you open explorer and manually connect to the share?

No it tries to connect but won't.

Then I would look into getting the device authenticated to the network. If you have an IT Administrator handy, get them to help, if not take a look at the other forums here, there should be one on hardware/network support.
