    Resolved Uploading/Download files from a iPaq

    Hi There,

    I am developing a software to copy files from a predetermined directory from an iPaq. How do i tell the VB.Net software to copy it to the iPaq directory?

    Also how do i tell VB.Net to check if there is a mobile device connected and to create directories?

    CHeers a million!

    the desktop.communications library will do all this.....however beware it does rely on activesync which is very tempormental

    the desktop.communications relies on activesync to get a connection with the device.....(wjhen the icon goes green).... you can then capture the sync event with desktop.communications and hide activesync and get your own application to do whatever work you like

    Is there any way to do it without active synch?

    not unless you write your own FTP class for the device using the wininet.dll and copy files to and from a server on the network (via cradle or wifi) or through gprs
