Welcome to the forum!

There is a mobile area on the forum here - maybe a MOD can move this thread...

How is the PPC connected - via it's docking station?

What kind of PPC?

Hi,
how are you connected to the PC from the pocketpc? Do you want to read the file on the PC, or copy it to the PPC?
You can use FTP or RAPI, or even a shared folder, if you are connected via a cradle.

The PC is in a remote Location and i want to connect it through a dial-up connection (Telephone line) to read the text file located in PC. Is it possible ?

You can access shared folder by using uri like "\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\My_Shared_Folder\".

So, provided you are connected to the network on the PC, try

Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader
        Try
            sr = New System.IO.StreamReader("\\acerduo\acershared\test.txt")
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
        End Try
        Dim fileContents As String
        fileContents = sr.ReadToEnd
        sr.Close()
      MessageBox.Show(fileContents)
