6. In the list, select the share name and tap Open. WiFile displays the contents of the
share.
Note:
Depending on how your system administrator manages the network, you
might be required to log on to the server before WiFile can gain access to the files.
From here, you can do a few different things:
•
You can download a file, which moves it from the share onto your Dana. If the file
is a type compatible with applications on your Dana, WiFile loads the file into your
Dana's RAM. If the file type isn't compatible, you can download the file onto a
memory card in an expansion slot on your Dana.
•
You can open a file for editing if the file is a text, Word, or Excel file. If the file is a
text file (.txt), it opens in AlphaWord. If the file is a Word or Excel file (.doc or
.xls), it opens in Documents to Go, provided you have the Documents to Go
application on your Dana.
•
You can also log out of the connection from here. Once you log out, the next time
you start WiFile, you'll need to open the connection again.
Note:
You're automatically logged out of a connection when your Dana is turned
off.
There are other tasks you can accomplish within the WiFile window. See "Moving
around in the WiFile window" on page 19 for details.
