How to Transfer Files
To transfer files you need to physically connect the mobile computer
to your desktop PC through a USB connection. When the computer is
connected through USB, you can browse to it and drag-and-drop to
move files back and forth to a Windows PC. If you are transferring files
to and from a Mac, use the Android File Transfer application (available
from www.android.com/filetransfer).
By default, the computer connects using MTP (Media Transfer
Protocol). If you are transferring mainly camera images, you can
configure the connection to use PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). If
your Windows PC does not support MTP, you may be able to transfer
files using PTP instead.
Connect to a PC through USB
You can use a USB cable and dock to connect the computer to a
Windows PC to transfer files in both directions. If you are using USB
tethering, you must turn tethering off before you can transfer files
through USB.
1 Place the computer in a USB dock.
2 Connect the dock to your Windows PC. The mobile computer is
mounted as a drive, and you can copy files in either direction as
needed.
3 When you are done transferring files, disconnect the CN51.
Configure the USB Connection for PTP
By default, the CN51 connects through USB using MTP (Media
Transfer Protocol), supported by Windows 7 and later. If you are
transferring mainly camera images, you can configure the connection
to use PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). If your computer does not
support MTP, you may be able to transfer files using PTP instead.
Note: PTP is supported by Windows XP and later. Your Windows XP
computer may also support MTP if it also supports Microsoft Media
Player 10.
