To use A40 like cf reader?

[katakulli]

I ve A40 and i m wondering if something possible. I can upload jpg images to my camera but i cant upload any other types of file. Can i use my cam like a cf reader ? I wanna upload some files to cf card to carry my friends with my cam. In windows xp i can see a40 and download images in my computer but i cant upload anything. In zoom browser i am allowed to upload only jpg. Is it a way to upload any other file types?

I have same problem with A70. Most annoying as I want to be able to show my avi movies (recorded on a70 but stored on PC) via the TV and need to upload them.

Does anyone know if I can get software, the zoombrowser is great for images but not for anything else. The other thought I had was to get a card reader and pop them on there.... Would this work does anyone know?

I have an idea which can solve your problem.
It is not the most pleasant way, but it should work for transferring files.

Compress the files you want to upload and rename it to .jpg. It is only 1 second to do. Than, after downloading rename it back to the original (.zip or other else)
