Default Ad hoc for file transfer

I know this is a prettybasic question, but I couldn't figure it out. I want to set up an ad hoc connection between 2 PDAs so I can transfer files. I have an e755 with built in wi-fi. There are actually two people I'd like to connect to, one also has an e755, the other, my dad, has an Axim X5 with a dell wi-fi card. I have resco file explorer (trial, I'm going to dl it when my pc is reconnected to the internet). I want to be able to send files over to these other peoples' PDAs, and eventually play snails over the connection. Thanks.

The Pocket PC OS does not support sharing of resources. so you will not be able to transfer files like you can with desktop PC.
The only way is to set up a FTP Server on one of the PPCs and a FTP Client on the other.

Thanks for the help, I guess I'll give that a try when I get my PC connected to the Internet again.
