Palm File Browser 1.4 (for Palm OS)
Palm File Browser 1.4 (for Palm OS)
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.
Source available at developer website.

JEMShoe: I was lovin this program...until today:) One of my bluetooth'd machines (using Lanso BT) has its serial port fixed on Serial 14 and 15). PFB only goes to COM8 so I cannot transfer file using BT with that dongle (I can with the Belkin BT on my other machine). So my only gripe is it only goes to COM8 and the developer is nowhere to be found. Otherwise I love it and I only carry my Sedio HS cable to charge my Treo.
jeffgibson: This is awesome software! PFB makes it so effortless for me as a developer to load software! I will never use HotSync again to install applications or move files to/from my Treos.

stratacus: great download, just a little bit odd at first, but after that. it works fine, especially for free!
moody: one of the best programe ever seen
k-blue: With the TotalComannder Plugin it's a very usefull Program.
j0rene: WOW this is an AWSOME prograM! works great with my Treo650! thanks to the creators and a bigger thanks for making it Freeware! :) you rock! the only thing wrong is that its not letting me transfer my address, contacts, and datebook info to my computer? but other than that, SO much faster to transfer music onto my SD card! :) thanks!!!
cRunchy: Works Great but is even better when used with WinCMD plugin.
Adamus: It works, it's usefull, it's only missing right mouse button stuff and a delete function....
lihou: Super! The only trick for Treo600 is on PC side you should choose Palm USB instead of Palm (Handsprint) and on Treo side you should select Port instead of USB
jm8753: Super software!

Detailed Description
The PFB package consists of 3 required components:
- filepc2pda.prc: The Palm application which has to be installed on your Treo via Hotsync, or download.
- sertransplg.dll: A Windows driver which must reside in the same directory as PFB.EXE (or optionally in a directory in your Windows PATH)
- PFB.exe: The Windows application itself
Installation
- Downloaded the ZIP archive and extracted all components in some directory on your PC. You should see the following files:
- filepc2pda.prc
- Help.htm
- LICENCE.TXT
- PFB.exe
- ReadMe.txt
- sertransplg.dll
- Using HotSync or whatever means you typically use, transfer filepc2pda.prc to the Treo. Make sure hotsync.exe is no longer running after the transfer, but keep the Treo and the PC connected via cable or cradle.
- On the PC side, invoke PFB.EXE (typically represented by a small magnifying glass icon).
- In the dialog that appears, select:
- Port: USB (Palm)
- Speed: 115200
- On the Treo, invoke filepc2pda.prc if it's not already running. Select:
and hit the connect button.
- If all goes well, you will see several messages including "connect", "ready" and "1 volume found".
You are now ready to transfer files between your Treo and your PC. When you're done, select "Disconnect" on both machines. Next time you want to transfer files, simply invoke PFB.EXE and filepc2pda.prc again (you won't have to change the settings).
Compatible with: Treo 600, Treo 650, Treo 680, Treo 700p, Centro, Treo 755p | Last updated: 4 Feb, 2005
