Since the Palm has no notion of "files", your question probably needs a bit more clarification... But I think you meant to say "How do I install applications on the Palm?", and that can be done with gpilotd-install-file using GNOME, or pilot-xfer if you choose to go that route (make sure you kill the gpilotd process first, they will directly fight for contention of the port when your Palm connects). On devices with an external storage card, you can use the latest pilot-link's support for VFS to write "real files" to the card, but you'll need to be careful about how your Palm handles them. For example, copying a .jpg file to your SD card won't necessarily mean that the Palm Photos application can see and display that file. It has to be in the right place, indexed by the Photos application and so on, before it can be seen. Likewise for ebooks that must exist in specific directories on your SD card for applications to see them. pilot-xfer --help should have some detail, and the manpage will have more, including examples. If any detail is missing, let me know and I'll add it as best as I can, without turning the manpage into a HOWTO. -- David A.
