Transfering text file to workstation from PDA

I have built an app in C# that runs on a PDA. This application through its
course builds a text file that I must later transfer to the host computer
for processing by another windows application. I know that I can do this
through activesync, however, because the file could become quite large I
have setup the program to store it on the storage card instead of in main
memory.

Specifically I would like to take the file stored on the storage card into
the c:\temp folder on the main host computer if possible. At this point I
would setting for getting it anywhere but if its possible I'd like to
specify specifically where the file will be located.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for accomplishing this task?

Thanks,

If you use the file explorer on your device to connect to a shared directory
on your host computer (\\machinename\sharename) and let it save the
password, later you can simply use File.Copy to copy a file to the share.
UNC paths are fully supported
 
Alex, That sounds great but how do I accomplish this? I do not want to
have to rely on a network connection in order to transfer the file if
possible. ie: I'd like to somehow do it through activesync. A shared path
would require some sort of network connection in order to pull off.

Thanks,

It is not a network path - or, rather it is a network connection over
activesync. There is no need in having an actual network - just a file
sharing enabled on your PC
 
Alex,

Again, I'm sorry to be so hard headed but I don't understand. I have a
temp folder shared on my computer. I have active sync setup and
functioning. I connect my PDA to my computer and establish a connection. I
then open explorer and click open and type in the \\computername\sharename
and it comes back and tells me that it can't find a share with that name...

I don't know what else to do with it...

Thanks,

glenn
