syncing to windows mobile device

[cedardoc]

I can connect to my WM device, but FreeFileSync doesn't like the location of
the folder I'm trying to sync to:

Directory does not exist:
"synce://WINDOWSMOBILE62/Filesystem/CF%20Card/"

You can ignore the error to consider not existing directories as empty. Linux
Error Code 2: No such file or directory

I tried ignoring it but it didn't work, and I tried renaming the CF Card to
CFCard, but WM5 wouldn't let me rename it.

Any suggestions? Right now the only way I have of getting files on there is
with copy/paste...


Thanks

Hi,

unfortunately FreeFileSync cannot access Windows Mobile devices directly. It
seems WM has been implemented as an Explorer hook, i.e. although it is looking
as if it were an ordinary file system access actually it is not. It redirects
everything to its proprietary drivers which do the rest. From an operating
systems's point of view all this is quite high-level within the Windows Shell
layer. FreeFileSync on the other hand operates relatively close to the
hardware, namely C-WinApi. Thous it cannot access WM. A workaround could only
be to use some third party software that maps WM to a regular drive, that can
then be used in the tool (For example just like "NetDrive" maps FTP).

FreeFileSync supports both MTP (mobile devices) and SFTP directly as of version 7.2.
