How to send a link to a phone for downloading

Question

Sorry for the obvious noob question, but I've been plaing with win32 forthe last 2 years. I have a basic jar and jad that work on the emulator, but my phone still doesnt have an easy drive type file upload system.
I can put the jad and jar in a web directory and goto the jar with the phones browser but not the jad. How do I package these and design the web link so the phone will download it? and store it in the applications?

Hi,
create simple .wml page to be browsed using WAP browser of the phone:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="Sucrerey's homepage" title=" Sucrerey's homepage ">
<a href="http://IPAdress/MyApp/MyApp.jad">MyApp</a>
</card>
</wml>Then make sure the .JAD file points to proper .JAR file. Your best bet is to use absolute path:
MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://IPAdress/MyApp/MyApp.jar
Storing in the applications depends on phone implementation.
HTH,
