synchronize two win ce 6 devices using usb

Question

I wanted to know if there is any way to synchronize (or exchanging files) two Windows CE 6.0 devices. Actually, I am able using ActiveSync to synchronize them one by one with a computer. Can I bypass the computer with plugging directly devices together and running a kind of ActiveSync Server in one of them (which will be the master)?

Thanks

Finally it's possible to make a wince device seen as a mass storage from another computer or another device (in my case another wince device).

You need to update you registry settings to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
   "DefaultClientDriver"=- ; erase previous default
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
   "DefaultClientDriver"="Mass_Storage_Class"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Mass_Storage_Class]
    "Dll"="usbmsfn.dll"
    "InterfaceSubClass"=dword:06 
    "InterfaceProtocol"=dword:50 
   "DeviceName"="DSK1:" 
   "FriendlyName"="Mass Storage"
   "idVendor"=dword:045E
    "Manufacturer"="Generic Manufacturer (PROTOTYPE--Remember to change idVendor)"
    "idProduct"=dword:FFFF
    "Product"="Generic Mass Storage (PROTOTYPE--Remember to change idVendor)"
    "bcdDevice"=dword:0

This is the official documentation of the process:

"usbmsfn.dll" should be also installed on your device to make this work.

Do not also forget to restart your device after registry modification,
