Accessing //servername/sharedfolder is basically out of the question
(PalmOS does not support this, though you may be able to license 3rd
party application code for that). You could of course just open a tcp
connection and send the data any way possible (FTP or something done by
yourself).

1 and 2 are easy. For the other: you have to be aware that PalmOS is
single-tasking, i.e. while Blazer runs your application will not be
running.

Through use of some callbacks (notifications) you may be able to execute
code while Blazer is running and do all of the above things (#5 depends
on whether the device supports that).

It definitely will be non-trivial.

Have you considered just running Blazer in a simulator? This way you may
be able to re-use existing Windows code.
