Is there a way to email files from PC to DC?   Message List

Re: Is there a way to email files from PC to DC?

>but the DC just saves them as a PASSPORT.X** file.

Did you try renaming the file after you recieved it?
Don't know if that will work but its worth a try.
As an experiment I took a .V file, compressed it and sent it
out to my DC but for some reason it actually increased in
size (took up more than 200 blocks)....
(Sure wish someone could figure out a way to view those
Dreameye videos in pc format as I can't find any media
program anywhere to recognize the file type.)
