Copy files from mobile device using batch file?

[Adeel Azhari]

Heyy guys, I'm trying to write a batch file to copy files from a mobile device running windows mobile (Psion Ikon labelled as PTX7505 in the picture below) to a network drive.

The problem is that when mobile devices are connected, it is detected as a portable device and not a physical drive assigned to a letter.


Anyone knows of anyway I can go about doing this?  I tried to use copy and xcopy, both will tell me that the drive could not be found when i typed "\PTX7505\" as the target folder.

I used diskpart to check the volumes available, and it didnt show any network drives or portable devices, but I can copy files to the network drive using the batch file.


Any suggestions? =)
Some info:
- The mobile device Can be browsed using Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) or simply Windows Explorer, but I intend to write the batch file to make it a simple one click solution for repeated tasks of downloading photos from the device, instead of browsing the folders.
- currently, I tested the batch file with lines:
copy "C:\Users\adeel\Desktop\test.txt" "\\server.local\private$\user\adeel\"
and it can copy a file from my desktop to my network drive, so there's no issue with the network drives.

Warm Regards,
Adeel

Go to 

Control Panel -> Computer management

go to disk management

see which volume it turns up under. (even better show screenshot like you did in OP)

Hi,

I think the device is using the MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) rather than your standard USB Mass Storage. Hence, you don't see it as a drive.

Is there an option (i.e. some setting on the device) that allows you to use the device as Mass Storage?

If you have Linux/GVFS, this would have been trivial...

Take care,

Do you find any solution to copy files to WinCe via batch?
