[gentoo-user] Uploading Files to Windows CE

[dhk]

Does anyone know how to upload files from a Gentoo box to Windows CE?
The CE device has a cradle with a usb connection which appears as
character device in /dev/ttyUSB0 .  The Windows cetools / cecopy does it
if you want to use Windows.  However, I would like to do it from Gentoo
if possible.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

metatron@Shao ~ $ eix -S "windows ce"
* app-pda/synce
      Available versions:  (~)0.13 (~)0.14 {gnome hal kde serial}
      Homepage:            http://sourceforge.net/projects/synce/
      Description:         Synchronize Windows CE devices with Linux.

 From the Homepage of synce at http://www.synce.org/moin/
"The purpose of the SynCE project is to provide a means of communication 
with a Windows Mobile device from a computer running Linux, *BSD or 
other unixes using USB or Bluetooth. One can then use one's computer to 
browse files, install applications and synchronize contacts, calendar 
and tasks with their PIM application of choice."

I don't have tried it because I don't own a WinCE device but it sounds 
like the right thing to me.

You know I have that installed.  It looks like I tried it once, but
didn't get far with it and then started exploring other options.  Since
I haven't found other options so I think I need to revisit this.

There are synce mailinglists, if someone knows how to help you then he 
is there I think.

version 0.15 is on the way, at the least try 0.14.  You may not want the
entire list of packages, probably just synce-hal, synce-sync-engine and
synce-gvfs.  gvfs will give you nautilus browsing of your device ;)
