I would like to build a small script that accesses a Trimble Juno SB (Windows Mobile) and makes a copy of a specific set of shapefiles on the unit's SD card. I would like to do this via a USB connection to avoid the hassle of removing the devices Otterbox case to get to the SD card itself.
My problem is that I cannot seem to access the devices directly as windows does not mount them like standard drives. The path I get from the device properties is formatted like this:
\Computer\[Device Name]\SD-MMC card\[Project Folder]
And if I try to use that as a path with arcpy.CopyFeatures_Management, a la:
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management("Computer\\GPS 377\\SD-MMC card\\LUA_Survey\\Ceramic.shp","C:\\Test\\")
Python tells me that the path I am passing as the first argument is invalid, or does not exist (ERROR 000732).
I have done a bit of research and it seems that there are ways to access these devices using the Microsoft Remote API (RAPI) but I am uncertain of how to do this in python.
Does anyone know a technique for accessing these kinds of devices via python and/or how to reference them for use with arcpy functions? I'm open to suggestion for other programmatic solutions but would prefer to use Python and Arcpy.
