Guest ASAD ALI Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 How do you get the zipped files which are downloaded on your computer to open up so you can download it on the phone. I have a mpx200 and cant seem to do it!! Please help.......... Cheers Asad
Guest Disco Stu Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Fire up Google and do a search for WinZip. It's free :) Make sure they aren't .cab files which the phone will open itself or .rar which is a variation on zip - again you'll need to find WinRAR to open these
Guest scott2eyes Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 Binarys Smart Explorer can Zip and Unzip files too. (At least it says it can- I've never tried it.) Is there a way to download ZIP files directly onto the phone (ie. with Pocket IE), rather than with a PC? Whenever I've tried it it seems to be going OK, but once finished I get an error message saying one of the files components is missing or can't be found, and the ZIP file is nowhere to be seen on my phone- at least, not in any of the obvious places- IPSM, My Documents, Temporary internet Files etc. (although the GPRS log indicates that the file has been downloaded!) (The reason I ask is that my work's internet connection has a firewall that stops me downloading apparently random ZIP and CAB files.)
Guest Disco Stu Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 AFAIK you can only download .cab to the phone, not .zip Doh ! Should have thought of Smart Explorer myself :)
Guest PritenC Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 I much prefer WinRAR, much better than WinZip.
Guest Palindrome Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Didn't Madu come up with a method of downloading zip files ages ago?
