If your phone is connected to the nextwork, then it's the same as anyother file copy.

how can i access the destination path? i havent tried copy file to a network..

[petevick]

Hi,
simple...
File.Copy( fromFileName, toFileName)

where toFileName is the network path - similar to "\\Myserver\SharedPath\myfile.txt"

You need to ensure you can access that path without authentication though

Does this help?

thanks for replies.. i have another problem, i cant connect to the network.. what i want to do is by pressing a button i can connect to the network via wifi and transfer files from mobile to pc and vice versa..

I'm not sure there is an easy way from VB to join a network, as there's security to navigate, not to mention getting the right network in the first place... I could be wrong, but I think you need to connect the device to the network first.

How are you trying to connect?

Take a look at Jim Wilsons' excellent video
