Can someone PLEASE tell me how to copy files from my
laptop to the .NET Visual Studio Windows CE emulator?!

I am developing a smart device app and I want to be able
to debug my application while it is running in the
emulator. However, my application needs a couple of
configuration files but I can't get them from my laptop
onto the emulator.

I've read somewhere about using some executable called
empfile but I can't find that anywhere.

There's a program "CEFILEVW" included in the PPC SDK that will do that.

When you start it, you can connect either to your real PPC or the
emulator. Navigate to the destination directory and select "Export File"
from the File menu (sounds backward to me).

I have two copies of "CEFILEVW" on my machine, one in
\Windows CE Tools\BIN and another in
\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\Common\Platman\bin, and the one in
....\Platman\bin is newer.

Thank you for your reply.

I can't find this file anywhere on my system. What is the
PPC SDK and where can I get it so I can get this utility?

When I installed VS.NET 2003 I also installed the "Pocket PC 2002 Software
Development Kit" (There's also one for "Windows Mobile 2003"). I also have
"eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 - 2002 Edition" which includes a C++ and VB IDE
for PPC. I suspect that's why I have two copies of most of the utilities
:-)

You can find pointers to all this stuff at
