I can't copy file from PPC to PC through Activesync

I can't copy files from PPC to PC through activesync. When I tried to copy, the conversion window of copying files popped up and it seems like its doing its job (converting and copying) and finished with no error. But when I go to the directory in my PC where the file copied to, there is nothing inside the directory. I've upgraded the activesync to version 4.1 (Build 4841) and still no luck. I tried from bluetooth and craddle connection and same result. However, I can successfully copy any file from my PC to PPC.
Does anyone had the same problem?

That's unusual.
I haven't had that problem myself, and it would be maddening if I did.
Tell me:
- Can you copy the other way around (PC to WM)?
- Is it every file, or certain types only?
- Can you try installing AS on another PC and trying the same process?

Same problem here, but with a S110. Various pc's and different version of AS tested. Some time ago it did work, but something triggered it to go wrong. Learning to live with it and copying stuff via sd-card.
Anyone a clue?

PC to WM5 works fine and it always successfully transfer the file for every type. The problem is only one way (WM to PC) through activesync.
I haven't tried to install AS on different PC yet. Will report after trial

In my case to upload file from WM to PC i use WiFi and connect through ftp to transfer data (Although it's inconvenient but it does the same job)

does anyone know how to share a folder on your Universal

Hi, i have searched the forum for an answer but i had no luck, plenty of threads on how to map a drive of a PC onto your Universal but not the other way round, i have a folder on my SD card that has all my simple system tools for PC in it and i would like to be able to go to a WiFi network and be able to access the folder from any PC regardless of activesync.
I hope i didn't make my request too confusing but im sure you will know what i mean because it would be very usful
Thank you so much for your time on replying in advance

The best software for you is WM5torage.
By Ingvarr:This program will export the flash memory card as usual USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk") - effectively turning smartphone into flash reader. It works with many (not all) Smartphones and PDAs on the market that use WM5 as OS.
Latest version is v1.53 - it's free , fully working Mass Storage Software working with WM5.0 :
You can find previous version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45411 or new after some changes here:

Thats Brilliant, thank you so much for your reply, but i don't think i didn't explane it right, i already have a program for doing the USB mass storge,its called 'Card Export 2', its brilliant and so fast, but thats not what im looking for because you still have to physicly plug your phone in to a PC, i want to be able to 'SHARE' a folder on my phone, i.e Mydevice\my document\STUFF, just like you do on a PC, and then be able to run/edit/copy/paste stuff in that folder from another PC using WiFi, so in other when i go into work and connect my phone to the network using WiFi i want to be able to go to any desktop and access my files on my phone without wires, i.e in explorer type-
\\myphone\stuff
('myphone' being the name of my device & 'stuff' being the shared folder on my phone)
have i made it any clearer?
please let me know if im not making myself clear

hi jab1a,
in the past i was also dreamin about a solution you have described. in the meantime i have learned by other posts that this is not possible as providing drives or folders as a network ressource is not implemented in windows mobile. so no way of getting an easy solution for that. but in other cases wm5torage works very well for me until somebody has worked out a way for wireless sharing of folders.
best regards
peter

Hi,
I use a piece of software called V m Network Browser. lets you copy and paste files and play files over the wifi network.
Great app
its shareware but small price for a good piece of software.
hope this helps

hi nightspider,
thanks for your input. just one question left: is this software running on your desktop/server pc and it allows to play around with files on your mobile device or do you run the software on your mobile device and play around with files on your desktop/server pc?
greetings
peter

It was small misunderstanding from me :wink: . So maybe ( not tested on WiFi) idea of the ftp server on PDA :?: ?
You cand find ShareIt FTP( no shure if working on WM5.0 :?: ) http://www.noisette-software.com/products/pocketpc/ShareIt/

Hi peter_altherr
Yes it runs on the Pocket pc nothing needed on the desktop pc apart from the shared folders

problem with i780

Yo! Got the same problem. Solution was 5 secs away: create empty file WELCOME.NOT on your PC. Then connect to ActiveSync, go to Tools -> Explore Pocket PC and copy that file to the root of a memory card and to the root of your system. Reboot. Yo-ho-ho!

Galaxy Nexus and Ewallet - workaround solution

Hi all,
For these people who wants to stick with Ewallet there is a workaround solution for galaxy nexus. I have tested this myself and it works. Of course you will need a desktop version of Ewallet and a USB flash drive and the Ewallet Reader app.
Here it is:
1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB
2. Copy eWallet directory (from the Android device) to the root of a USB memory stick (make sure the all files are copied over too).
3. Set up the desktop eWallet to sync with Android (It will get fooled and think the memory stick is android phone)
4. Copy your wallet file (it is .swlt now) back to your phone's eWallet directory
5. You might have to force stop and restart eWallet on the phone
This should do until they (ewallet) figure out a new way to sync with devices that don't support mass storage functionality.
I hope this is helpful.

I did it a little differently. Have a Galaxy S2 which ewallet works on. Copied the eWallet directory from that to the Galaxy Nexus and it works. The Galaxy needs to be in USB Media Device mode and I enabled USB debugging.

Explorer of Isolated storage

Hi,
Exist some Explorer of Isolated storage thats run without Zune or
Windows developers tools ?
Thanks for advice.

hi
you use a htc device, so you can install the htc root webserver xap.
read this post and try it. it's really simple to use.
you will have access to isolated storage, too.

Nice looking app, but If I can't connect to wifi how to connect to ISOLATED storage ? Works it also if I connect my device via microUSB cable to PC ?
Thanks.

hi
no at that time, it works only via wlan. you can put in the usb-cabel and a ip is showing up, but you can't connect to this ip.
steps to do:
open the webserver app on your device
in the app change the password in one of yours
connect to the showing ip adress in browser on your computer
type in username and password
have fun, the rest is self explanatory!

ok, if I cant connect to wifi the web server is for me
useless solution.
But I found out something else watch this: I got HD2
my microSD card is 8GB. There are 2 partition one is something 7.5 GB
and second this is important is FAT16 200MB.
I installed new FileBrowser and in this app I can see folder Storage Card
and I am able to copy files on this FAT16 partition without problem
and I can read it in card reader and oposite if I copy something in card reader
to FAT16 I can copy it from this "Storage Card" folder in device File Browser and copy it to device.
Shame that It works only on devices with Storage card.
Thats why I love my HD2, Igot WP 7.5 and microSD slot
