If the far end supports IrOBEX, you can use the standard stuff (though
not the ExgDBread/write - ZBoxZ - palmboxer.sourceforge.net beams
filestreams), but might have to set a MIME type or something so the
far end knows what to do with it.
Then it is a matter of doing the send, but instead of doing ExgDBRead,
you do file reads: (this is from my beambox routine in
zboxz/handlers.c)
MemSet(&exgSocket, sizeof(exgSocket), 0);
//The following have to be set for the target to know the type of file, and possibly
more:
exgSocket.description = filelp[i] + SORTPREFIX;
exgSocket.name = filelp[i] + SORTPREFIX;
exgSocket.length = len;
exgSocket.target = 'BOXR';
if (!ExgPut(&exgSocket)) {
xcnt = 0;
while (xcnt < len) {
tlen = FileRead(fd, ibuf, 1, BSIZ, NULL);
xcnt += tlen;
px = ibuf;
while (tlen) {
outhis = ExgSend(&exgSocket, px, tlen, &err);
if (err)
break;
tlen -= outhis;
px += outhis;
EvtResetAutoOffTimer();
}
}
If you use IrCOMM, you can use YModem or something similar.
