Mobility Site - View Single Post - Ad-Hoc File Sharing (PPC to PPC)

Ok I searched through the forums, but I couldn't find an answer. I may just have had the wrong search criteria. If that is the case, I do appologize. :)

I can set up an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network between two x30's. I don't assign IP's so they get the standard 169.254.blah.blah.. That is fine cuz they can ping eachother.

What I wanna know tho, is it possible to share files that way? I have Resco Explorer on mine, but the standard file explorer on the other. Is there a way I can "share" a folder on the PPC's like you can within normal Windows?

And to get to the point, if that is possible, I can map a network share from the default file explorer x30 as \\169.254.xx.xx\other_x30_share_name And then I can copy files.

And yes I know I can do it via Bluetooth, but I was curious if it can be done Wi-Fi. :) Thanks!
