The application I am working on needs to have the ability to update itself
over a wireless network by contacting a server and requesting an upgrade.
To accomplish this I am writing a small second application that will
download the upgrade files and then "install" them and then re-launch the
main application. To do this the application will have to receive files
over the serial port and save them to the handheld. Then once it has
received all the updated files it will need to move (or more accurately
rename) them so that they are ready to use. I have studied the Serial
Manager, the Connection Manager, and the File Streaming API and I can't seem
to find a fit. Can someone please steer me in the right direction at to how
to:
1. receive a file over the serial port and save it to the Palm (without
using hotsync)
2. rename a file on the Palm.
I don't think that I can use the HotSync functionality since I can't change
the way that the server sends the updates (i.e. I cant run the HotSync
manager on the server) since the product I am working on is a Palm version
of a system that already exists for WinCE and I have to use the existing
messaging protocol. Thoughts on how to proceed anyone?
