Hi
I have an IPAQ with a home grown app on it.

I want to be able to send info (text string) from this across wi-fi to a PC.

Ideally wait to hear the PC has picked it up and get a response back to confirm this.

I may extend the app to allow multiple IPAQs to send info to the PC at once.

Any views on what's the best way to do this ? A quick way (but not elegant) way I believe is to simply share a drive on the laptop and let the IPAQ write the info to that.

Thanks

That's one way. The other would be creating an application that opens a connection to your PC, and send the information to a server on that machine. Of course this involves development on the PC side. Or it could be a simple ASP server on the desktop machine and the application submit as a POST to this server?

Thanks, i'm thinking TCP listener route is probably going to be the way I'll go long term but to get something up & running I'll do shared drive to move forward.
If I run into issues on the shared drive route (and knowing XP networking I probably will!) I'll drop another note.
