synching just one file

Hi there-

So I will be on the road for maybe three months.

Basically, about once a week, I want to synch a 20-30 page document that will be emailed from various internet cafe computers to my Pocket PC.

Ah-ha- so easy- if the cafes are wireless. Ah-ha- I will be in Thailand and while internet cafes are easy, many areas won't have wi-fi.

So, is there anyway that I can take my cradle and synch up and just tranfer that one file to my handheld?

thanks,

Seth

Don't you have email/internet connection on your device?

Connecting your cradle won't make a connection to a host PC anyway unless it has ActiveSync installed. Unlikely in an internet cafe setting. If it has wireless access, you could use a wifi connection and a service like Goggle docs to hold a shared document archive online.

My IPAQ does have internet/email connection..... hmmm you have my curiosity aroused!


As for active synch, my thought was to just download it as needed... if there was a way to just synch one file.

If you have email and internet then there is no need sync. Just edit the doc on your device and send it. If further editing is required, have it sent back to you.

Hmmm not sure I get you.

The document will be sent to me via email, however, how do I get the email off the internet cafe onto my pocket pc, unless there is wi-fi in which case it's all good.

Since I doubt an internet cafe is going to let you install software on their equipment (or shouldn't - it's an idiotic risk on their part), you would have a couple of options. Many will have card readers on some stations; you could use a memory card out of your device to transit documents. Or you can look for wifi hotspots; some internet cafes have timed wireless access available. This would let you access email from your device directly.
