Srego CE ToolPack Command-Line Utilities

The Srego CE ToolPack Command-Line tools provides a set of utilities for the Windows desktop to manipulate a connected Windows CE or Windows Mobile device. The utilities in the ToolPack utilize RAPI and ActiveSync to communicate with the device so virtually all Window CE and Windows Mobile platforms are supported: Window CE 2.11, Handheld PC, Handheld PC Pro, Pocket PC, Pocket PC 2002, Handheld PC 2000, Window Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 2003 SE, Window CE.NET, and Windows Mobile 5.0.

All of the utilities are command-line tools that are run on the desktop (not the device). Most of the utilities are similar in functionality to an existing Command Prompt utility (such as Copy, Del, Move, Dir, MkDir, RmDir, and Start) only the task is performed on the device, not the desktop. For example, the ceDir utility provided in the Srego CE ToolPack is similar to the Command Prompt Dir command, only the directory information it displays on the desktop will come from the Windows CE device. Additionally, cePush and cePull can be used to move files back and forth between the desktop and the device and to synchronize files between the device and the desktop.

Most of the utilities in the Srego CE ToolPack are not new and there are a variety of freeware/shareware utilities available that can perform some of the tasks the ToolPack utilities can accomplish. However, the utilities in the ToolPack are well equipped to handle a variety of task and support features like wildcard in filenames, synchronization, auto retry, and also support a current directory concept on the device to mimic the current directory concept on the desktop.

The Srego CE ToolPack utilities can be used to increase productivity when dealing with Windows CE devices. These utility can be used directly from a Command-Prompt window or in script files.

The Srego CE ToolPack utilities use RAPI (Remote Application Programming Interface) to communicate with the Windows CE device and no software needs to be loaded on the device.
