TRANSFERRING FILES FROM A PDA TO A DESKTOP
PC
If Win-Situ Sync (or its earlier release, Pocket-Sync 4) is installed on
your desktop PC, file transfer can be done automatically each time the
computers are connected in ActiveSync.
To transfer files “manually” proceed as follows. NOTE THAT MICRO-
SOFT ACTIVESYNC IS NEEDED TO CONNECT THE COMPUTERS
even with an In-Situ synchronization utility installed (Win-Situ
Sync or Pocket-Sync 4).
TIP: Install Microsoft ActiveSync on the desktop PC before
the first connection to the PDA. Be sure to exit your last
Pocket-Situ session. The following procedure is performed
from the desktop PC side.
1. With the computers connected and ActiveSync running, open up
Explore on the ActiveSync tool bar.
2. Double-click on “My Pocket PC.”
3. Browse to the folder where Pocket-Situ Data is stored. On some
PDAs this will be in a folder called “Storage Card” or “SD Card.” On
the RuggedReader, look in Built-in Storage. Open the Pocket-Situ
Data folder (double-click) to display a listing of your extracted data
(.bin) files.

4. Right-click the file(s) you want to transfer and select Copy or Cut.
Selecting Cut will remove the data file from the PDA.
5. Open My Computer or Windows Explorer for the desktop PC and
navigate to the folder where you want to place the data file(s).
When the cursor is in the desired folder, right-click, and select
Paste.
We recommend placing the files in the following locations to ensure
that they will be displayed properly in the Data Folder branch of the
Win-Situ Navigation tree. The In-Situ synchronization utility, if used,
will put the files in the proper locations automatically.
