IIRC, you can't access a directory on an FTP server as a local one either -
for example, you can't map it in the local file system. I may be wrong
though.

If you can, then, use vxFTPSrv.

Thanks all, appreciate the replies.

My main reason for asking was to try to automate a frequent procedure.
I'm doing a lot of experimental trialing of PPC programs following
replacement of my old iPAQ 2210/2215 (WM 2003) with an HTC Touch Pro 2
(WM 6.1). For those progs where I download a CAB, I want to write a
macro with Macro Express Pro to simply copy it to my device for
subsequent manual execution.

for me, this always comes back to using the ppc's memory card in a pc
card reader which opens up all of the automated pc processes to update,
sync or transfer files.

tip... with the cab files, if you mark them ro on the memory card as
part of the transfer, they will not be deleted following installs.

I dunno. The latest Remote Desktop Mobile that is built into some Touch
Diamonds and some Touch Pros has a way to share directories on the PPC with
a laptop computer at the same time you have access to them on the PPC. Too
bad the access is so slow.

Sure, it's done as the shell extension, which uses RAPI underneath. You can
do that as well with your own program. it's just not available from a
command prompt as a drive. getting at the files from the PC isn't
technically challenging at all - it's rather simple in fact. Adding the
fact that you want it from a command line makes it near impossible. You
*could* write an app that allows you to pass it commands on the command line
and have *it* do the file transfers via RAPI.
