dotnet compact framework : Pull/Import files from PC Host to the Device

Nothing that doesn't require you to do substantial work on both ends, no.
You could share a folder on the PC and have your code on the device attach
to the shared folder and get its contents, I guess, or have an FTP or HTTP
server running on the PC (or a sockets program of your own), to which you'd
connect from the device. Sending files from the PC to the device is the
intended mode of operation...

Is there a way using the Compact Framework to implement a "pull" or import
of files from a Host PC's hard drive while cradled? We would like to avoid
having to release a PC application used to "push" the files from the PC to
the mobile device which we know can be done.

Thanks in advance.

The easiest method is to write a web service thats hosted on the server -
maybe WCF.
