PFB: PalmFileBrowser lets you manage your files on the Treo and the SD card directly from your Windows PC.
It has two major advantages over Softick CardExportII: it is freeware, and it let's you access files on the Treo itself. The disadvantage is that it requires an application on the PC. For installation instructions, please check Help.htm in the ZIP file or see the "detailed description" below.
NOTE: The prc download is the extracted handheld client filepc2pda only. You must download and extract the zip to your desktop computer in order to transfer files.

Adondo: FINALLY!! This is what I have been looking for… a FREEware file transfer utility. I cannot see spending $19.95 for the occasional file (or folder) transfer to or from an SD card. And I hate the risk of popping the card out and trusting card readers. I have had more than one card scrambled from bad readers. (Nothing like a good card reformat and reload to start your day!)I have Pocket Tunes, and it works GREAT for transferring MP3 files. But, it will NOT deal with other types of files very well. I thought I could use the SD card audio folder as a back door to move other things around. There is size and number of file limit etc. unless they are MUSIC files. (Yet another good idea gets shot down in flames) PFB has no such silly limitations. I’ve moved just about anything and everything thru it. Even those multi-meg folders full of encrypted files that NV Backup creates do not choke it to death. But, it is for power users, as you really have to know your disk structures in both your desktop and Palm. PFB reminds me of the good old indispensable WS-FTP app for moving files to and from websites.Another VERY GOOD thing about PFB is that both ends are stand alone. In other words, no apps to install that extend tentacles all thru your Palm or Windows OS. You run filepc2pda on the Palm to start a connection thru your existing Palm Desktop conduit, then launch PFB on the desktop. filepc2pda is only 21k so you can leave that one in RAM. PFB itself (for the desktop computer) is only 48k and its companion DLL file is 72k. Just run it AFTER you run filepc2pda and viola! A connection pipe into your SD card! Pay attention to the warnings as filepc2pda starts up, because if you try to do a normal Palm sync while it is running, the USB port will get hogged from both apps, and everything will crash. The only reason I did not give this great app a full ten stars is because it will not save your last used folder positions as WS-FTP does. You start from scratch each time. (From the root folder of each unit) (0) is your Palm RAM, (1) is your SD card. It does save connection settings between sessions for easy reconnects. You only have to mess with speed and port settings ONCE. Oh yes, more kudos for recognizing networks drives.
