File Transfer page

The File Transfer page displays an auto-populated list of files for Symbian OS Device that the IDE transfers to the target device at the start of each launch. For RnD device images, the target location for files is normally c:\sys\bin or another protected area. For production device images Symbian OS Device (Install SIS) does not support the transfer of files to c:\sys\bin or other protected areas.

Users can add, edit, or delete files in the list and sort by clicking on a column header. By default, any file added is automatically checked for downloading to the device. Users can uncheck a file to remove it from the download list without removing the file itself. CODA (Carbide On-device Debug Agent) users can use this panel to download any type of file, like bitmaps, HTML, sounds, and more, to the phone and applicable to CODA for transfering any files outside of the installation file.

Item Explanation
File transfer list

The File transfer list displays the project files that are moved to the target device for launch and debugging purposes. It contains these columns:

  • Enabled—a checkmark indicates that the IDE should transfer the specified file to the target directory. If unchecked, do not transfer the file.
  • File to transfer—the path and filename to a file on the host machine to be transfered
  • Target directory—the path to the target directory where transfered files are placed on the device.

The target directories where files can be installed depends upon the type of device image you have on the device and which version of CODA you are using.

  • Symbian OS Device (Install SIS) - public folders only on production device images
  • Symbian OS Device - public and protected folders, like c:\sys\bin, on RnD device images
