MDSCS? MDSS?

Some of the users would like to access files from file server behind the firewall from Blackberry. We have BES running behind firewall. Of course, port 3101 is opened on the firewall.

We download the Mobile File Manager from www.rovemobile.com. As long as IPPP service book appears in your Blackberry, you should have access to your network. If MDSCS service installed correctly on your BES server, it should be pushed down to the blackberry.

MDSS is for software designed by your developers. So, don't get confused. Only MDS Connection service is required for this software, not MDSS - Apache Tomcat Service. You don't need MDSS unless you develope your own software for Blackberry running on BES.

Rovemobile had a few nice tools available. However, the transfer rate is still expensive.
