Suggestion for USB flash syncing to carputer

**aoLhaTer** · 09-05-2005, 05:02 PM

I figured out that in the RR thread everyone ditched the initially posted program and went in favor of a batch script
I already know about batch scripts and this is my whole problem

Batch scripts are too simple
I need a method of transferring my music so that the only files transferred are ones that are newer than the last transfer
I only have 512mb of space to work with so I cant afford to transfer more files than I have to

I just did you a batch program that does just that.

Frodo to the rescue

Here ya go.
Put this in the root of your usb stick.
Files in the Data directory.
Just edit the values in autorun.bat

Any more questions ?

Oh I forgot, usb drives won't work with autorun.inf, one sec.

The copying to the car pc is no problem, thats simple
Its the copying from the host computer to the USB drive that's difficult

That's where I want it to transfer only files that are new since the last transfer occurred

Dont worry about the autorun thing, theres several programs available that will do it for USB drives

Oh, ok, explain better then.

Thanatos.

For others:

Code:

0x1	Disables Autoplay on drives of unknown type.
0x4	Disables Autoplay on removable drives.
0x8	Disables Autoplay on fixed drives.
0x10	Disables Autoplay on network drives.
0x20	Disables Autoplay on CD-ROM drives.
0x40	Disables Autoplay on RAM disks.
0x80	Disables Autoplay on drives of unknown type.
0xFF 	Disables Autoplay on all types of drives.

Look at that like a binary number.
11111111 would be 0xFF or 255 Disable all
11011001 would disable all but cdrom and removable (D9 or 217)

OK what about having copy2000 in the carpc point to the usb stick.... I think that would work just fine....(but I'm to lazy today to try it myself).

Thanatos.
