Hi everybody!

I have some problems with my pocket PC and its USB Cradle. The device
has strange behaviour when it is connected through the cradle. For
example I use a FTP client on my PPC. It connects to a server in the
LAN where my desktop is connected. I can access to the FTP server with
the desktop pass through option, login to it and send or receive files.
However, the number of files sent or received is limited with the
cradle. I always have a connection problem after a given number of
operations. Next operations become impossible and I have to disconnect
and reconnect the PPC to the cradle to be able to send/receive files,
until the limit is reached again. I try with bluetooth and WIFI
connections and everything work fine. The problem seams to come with
the cradle. Internet connection works properly before I launch FTP
client and be blocked. After that , the internet connection doesn't
work.

I have the following configuration, Windows mobile 2003 & Windows 2000.

Why connections through cradle are limited (it seams that they are
allowed)?

All ideas and suggestions are welcomed

Thank you

A. Veyret

I transfer files to/from my ipaq using Windows Explorer. I've done this with
both W2K and XP. I ran into a limitation of several hundred megabytes ... I
can't remember now. At the time, the fix was to use a CF card reader instead
of doing it through ActiveSync. But this limitation was a single file size,
not multiple files. I think it was something like 300 mbs.

thanks for your reply.

I think that a CF Card could be a solution, but with ftp clients I try
FTP to use it in an application for mobile devices and I want to use
ActiveSync connection for file transfer to allow people without Card to
use the application.
