Not sure if this is the correct category, but I'm looking for some education about the FC-2500 that I'm using.

So, I think this would be easy (and maybe it is), but how do I transfer files between a USB thumb drive and the data collector? When I connect the thumb drive with the cable, the icon at the bottom switches to "OTG/Host" (vs just the OTG when not connected), so I would assume that I would be able to see the drive as another folder, as like in windows explorer. Does the "USB Hub and GPS Power" in the settings folder have anything to do with it?

And a somewhat similar question, is there a way to transfer files between the FC-2500 and another DC with Bluetooth or via the USB cable? Again, I would think this would be easy, but I've been searching the internet trying to find an answer, and of course the manuals don't seem to be of any help (unless I'm looking in the wrong spot). When trying to connect via bluetooth, it paired the two devices, but I couldn't find a way to transfer files.

Thanks.

I don't know about the FC2500 but in two Windows CE I use (TSC2 and TCU) the thumb drive shows up as "hard drive" in the root directory in the Windows CE file window.

Can you turn off/disable the OTG program? You should see the usb drive as another drive(Hard Disk)
