Hi all.

I has just been given a WindowsCE.NET platform. I can start it and see
the Windows CE.NET 4.2 system with a VGA screen. I can also put a
keyboard and a mouse connected to it.

Now I would like to be able to program .NETCF applications but I don't
know how to connect to the remote system. I've tried this :

Change the IP address of the remote WinCE.NET 4.2 to 192.168.1.100
Change the IP of my PC workstation to 192.168.1.200
Link the PC and the WinCE.NET with a cross-cable (RJ45)
I can ping the WinCE.NET from PC and ping the PC from WinCE.NET
I tried to FTP to the WinCE.NET but the connection is automatically
stopped
I tried to telnet to the WinCE.NET but i don't know the parameters to
enter for login and password

I heard of SDAuthUtilDevice.exe. What is that ? When I launch this
tool on the WinCE.NET it shows me the IP 127.0.0.1. Is it possible to
exchange files with the desktop PC with this tool ?

There's no CEMGR or CEMGRC tools on the WinCE.NET platform

Thank you if anyone can point me into the right direction...

see you

That's ok now. I've started the SDAuthUtilServer on the device and can
connect to it from VS.NET and I can now transfert .NET executables to
the device.

I would like to know if I can use this "VS.NET 2003" connection to put
some other files (exe files created with evc++4.0 or any other ones,
bmp, gif, jpeg etc... any application) to the device ? I would then be
able to put the missing CEMGRC file or any other file needed to run
the Remote Zoomin, Remote process viewer etc...

Do you think or do you know if it's possible ?

thanks

The VS.NET connection is not general-purpose, in the same way the connection
established by the eMbedded Visual C++ IDE is, for use with Remote File
Viewer, Remote Registry Editor, etc. I'd just create a separate connection,
using ActiveSync, TCP or whatever, for that.

Thank you very much for your answer.
If I'd like to create a TCP connection, how would I process ? And how
to transfer files on the TCP layer ?

Thank you

Well, you should read the help before asking here. You have to go into eVC,
configure the Platform Manager for the correct type of connection, start the
PC waiting for the device to connect, and initiate the connection on the
device end. I've also posted a complete list of steps for doing this for
the Manual Server configuration in the Windows CE newsgroups. You can
search for that in the archives via Google:
