sharing folders on a pocket PC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi,

I am running PPC2003SE on an imate Kam with a sandisk wifi card.

Is there *any* way to connect to another PPC device and browse folders
/ share files over wifi?

I have managed to set up an ad-hoc connection and we can ping each
other.

I can also browse networked folders on PC's using Pocket Lan.

What Icannot seem to do is share folders *on* a pocket PC.

I dont want to use Bluetooth, it seems crazy that you cant share PPC
folders for wifi access?

any way to do it?

tia.

the other suggestion is to search for a web server for your PPC (I think
there are a few available now) and access the files via the web browser.
not as fully functional as "sharing" them, but might work for your needs.

No, Resco won't let you do that either, though it is an excellent p[rogram
in it's own right. Short of setting up a web or ftp server on your PPC there
is no way for other PPCs to access it's files as if they were shared.
