Keeping in mind that I know next-to-diddly about ftp, is it possible to directly connect two handheld devices via infrared and ftp for the pupose of exhanging files? Or must there be an internet connection between them?

Thanks for the tip, but I've already looked at IRCopy, EZObex, and Total Commander. I'm trying to connect a Psion and a CE 2.0 device, and despite the presence of IROBEX drivers on both devices, I have not found an IR program that works.

So I was pondering an ftp connection.

I think the key is getting the connection established. Then you should be able to send a file and receive one without problem. I know that in the past I established an infrared connection via serial port and using xmodem or zmodem was able to send and receive files between my old Pent 1 laptop and a Mobilepro 770.

I'm think it would be easier to save the file to a CF card though (maybe using a pcmcia adapter on a laptop and trade files that way.

his velo 1 does not have the vmodule

so it is really important to find a solution!

It's feasably possible to do it, however to my knowledge the CE device doesn't come with a method of accepting PPP connections over IR. You would have to write some sort of application to make the TCP/IP connection.

CE does support IrLAN, but I forget which version it was enabled in. I have a feeling that it was 2.10...

Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be easy, and I don't have the programming skills to pull off Chris's suggestion. Too bad--it's the only problem with my Velo 1. Psion can send files over IROBEX to the Velo, but can't receive the same from Total Commander 2.0

Yet Total Commander on my J-720 sends/receives just fine with the Psion. I have a lengthy correspondence with Christian, author of TC, but to no avail
