file handling

sometimes i need to transfer non palm native files like pictures or mp3s from another pda or cellphone to my clie. i found mcfile to be the most useful app for doing that.

here are the steps for transferring files:

1. align and turn on IR of both devices, or bluetooth if you have it.


2. open mcfile on the receiving handheld


3. transfer the file from the source handheld using BT or IR.


4. a file transfer dialog will appear, wait till the process is finished


5. mcfile will prompt the receiving handheld to specify a location where the received file should be stored.


6. choose a location from the file browser menu, be sure to choose a folder in the external memory card if you are receiving a non palm os native file type.


7. writing complete! you have just succesfully transferred the file to your handheld
