Copying files to pda

Description

This script shows you how to "copy" a file from a desktop machine to a PDA using RAPI. This can be used to copy files other than .cab files. There are better ways to install cab files on a PDA, using CeAppMgr. To use this function you require the rapi.dll, which is installed along with ActiveSync.

The Function

Function createSettingsFile
;Init RAPI
 
;----------------------
;Dll Call Structure
;
;HRESULT CeRapiInit(void);
System::Call "rapi::CeRapiInit() i .r0"
 
;Create the file on the PDA
 
;----------------------
;Dll Call Structure
;
;HANDLE CeCreateFile(
;  LPCWSTR lpFileName,
;  DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
;  DWORD dwShareMode,
;  LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttributes,
;  DWORD dwCreationDisposition,
;  DWORD dwFlagsAndAttributes,
;  HANDLE hTemplateFile
;);
;
; Access Mode Values :
;       GENERIC_READ = 0x80000000;
;       GENERIC_WRITE = 0x40000000;
;
; Creation Disposition Value :
;	CREATE_NEW = 1;
;	CREATE_ALWAYS = 2;
;	OPEN_EXISTING = 3;	
;
; Flag and attribute values
;	FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL = 0x80;
;	FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY = 0x10;
;	FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY = 0x100;
 
System::Call "rapi::CeCreateFile(w '\filename.txt', i 0x80000000|0x40000000, i 0, i 0, i 2, i 0x80, i 0) i .r10"
 
;Write your data across. Can be done in a loop etc.
FileOpen $0 'FileName' r
IfErrors done
 
FileRead $0 $1
 
;Get the lenght of the string read
StrLen $2 $1
 
;----------------------
;Dll Call Structure
;
;BOOL CeWriteFile(
;  HANDLE hFile,
;  LPCVOID lpBuffer,
;  DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite,
;  LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten,
;  LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped
;);
System::Call "rapi::CeWriteFile(i r10., t r1, i r2, i 0, i 0) i .r11"
 
;----------------------
;Dll Call Structure
;
;BOOL CeCloseHandle( 
;  HANDLE hObject
;); 
 
done:
 
;Close the file on the PDA
System::Call "rapi::CeCloseHandle(i r10) i .r1"
 
;Close the local file
FileClose $0
 
 System::Free 0
FunctionEnd

Basically it initialises RAPI, creates the file on the PDA, reads from the local file and writes the the file on the PDA!
