Connecting handhelds and transferring files 75
Rules for transferring files and folders
• You can transfer documents and Operating System (OS) files.
• Operating systems are not interchangeable between different
handheld types. For example, you cannot transfer a CAS operating
system to a non-CAS handheld.
• If a document with the same name as the one you are sending
already exists on the receiving TI-Nspire™ handheld, the document
will be renamed. The system appends a number to the name to make
it unique. For example, if Mydata existed on the receiving TI-Nspire™
handheld, it would be renamed Mydata(2).
Both the sending and receiving handhelds will display a message that
shows the new name.
• There is a 255-character maximum length for a file name, including
the entire path. If a transmitted file has the same name as an existing
file on the receiving handheld and the file names contain 255
characters, then the name of the transmitted file will be truncated to
enable the software to follow the renaming scheme described in the
previous bullet.
• All variables associated with the document being transmitted are
transferred with the document.
• Transmissions will time out after 30 seconds.
Caution: Some older TI-Nspire™ handhelds cannot receive folders; only
files. If you receive an error in sending to an older TI-Nspire™ handheld,
see Common error and notification messages.
