Hi capri,

This information u can find in ur 3rd sdk help

S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS
Tools and Utilities >> Command Line Interface

SDK Command Line Interface
This command line interface enables web content developers to easily test their content on the emulator or on a device. This interface can be used to:

Launch the emulator, view particular content in an already running emulator (for example an image) or launch a URL in the emulator.

Send a URL to a mobile device and launch the browser with the URL. This command line interface relies on the Device Connectivity Tool for S60 SDK to provide connectivity between the PC and the mobile device.

sdk.exe will automatically launch the Device Connectivity Tool for S60 SDK tool - if it is not already running - for all the operation is in the device.

Syntax

Arguments

Limitations

Examples





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syntax
sdk.exe [-target:<target>] [-browser:<browser>] [-com:<com_port>] [[-url:]<url/pathname>]

Invoking sdk.exe without arguments is equivalent to invoking epoc.exe, that is, it will start the emulator.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arguments
-target:<target>

Defines the target for the operation. Valid target arguments are emulator and device. The default value for this argument is emulator (that is, if no target is defined the operation will be executed in the emulator). sdk.exe will attach to an already running emulator executable and attempt to load the content in it.

-browser:<browser>

Defines the browser for the operation if the operation requires a browser. Valid browser arguments are services and web. The default value for this argument is services, so if no browser argument is specified the browser with the Services icon name will be invoked.

-com:<com_port>

This option defines the communication port (serial port) to communicate with a device. This option is only used when the target is the device. The value for the <com_port> argument value is a positive integer representing the port number. If the Device Connectivity Tool for S60 SDK application is already running, this option will reconfigure the application and it will force the Device Connectivity Tool for S60 SDK application to use the newly defined port. This option is optional if the Device Connectivity Tool for S60 SDK application is already running and configured.

[-url:]<url/pathname>

This option specifies the URL or a path for a content. The URL can be of the http://, https:// or file:// schema. The -url: prefix for this argument is optional and it is only supported for backward compatibility with some 3rd party applications which use this interface to pass content to the SDK. A file path or a file schema is always relative to the hardware (PC or mobile device) where the content is rendered (launched). If the target is the emulator, file references are relative to the PC. If the target is a device, file references are relative to the device.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Limitations
The command line interface does not support invoking the Web browser on the emulator with a file:// schema or pathname. URLs with the http:// schema be launched with the Web browser.

This command line interface will not transfer files to the device. To open a local file on the device from the PC using this CLI, the content should be transferred to the device using other tools.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples
sdk.exe http://www.google.com

Launch the default browser (Services) on the emulator with the http://www.google.com URL. This will start the emulator if the emulator is not running, or it will attach to an already running emulator.

sdk.exe http://127.0.0.1/index.html

On emulator, loads the index.html page in the default browser (Services) from the HTTP server running on the local PC. Make sure that the emulator is not configured to use an HTTP proxy for this use case.

sdk.exe -target:device -com:2 http://www.google.com

Commands the Services browser in the device to fetch the url http://www.google.com. The url is fetched using the access point configured in the device.

sdk.exe -browser:web -target:device -com:2 http://www.google.com

Commands the Web browser in the device to fetch the url http://www.google.com. The url is fetched using the access point configured in the device.

sdk.exe http://my.pc.ip.address/index.html

Loads the index.html page in the default browser (Services) from the HTTP server running on the PC (with the my.pc.ip.address IP address). This configuration requires that the handset is configured so that it has direct (local) IP connectivity to the PC, for example using a WLAN connection.

sdk.exe C:\mypage.html

Loads the C:\mypage.html page to the default browser on the emulator from the root directory of the PC's C: drive.

sdk.exe -target:device -com:2 C:\mypage.html

Loads the C:\mypage.html page to the default browser on the device from the root directory of C: drive of the device. Notice, that on the device some directories are protected and the browser application does not have access rights to those directories (the C:\ directory is not protected).

I'm a beginner with Symbian and mobiles emulators and I have the same problem capri07 had...
I've read your post (Mateen Maldar) and i've browsed the SDK help too, but i still don't understand how to let my emulator connect by its WLAN and use my pc interent connection.
Which command should i use to do what i need to do?

The emualtor for 3rd edition uses WINSOCK to connect to emulator thus there is no furthur access to other access points avaliable. so overriding the winsock and using traditional way of get all access points avalible to the PC will give an option for WLAN access point settings enabling to it..provides another way of using it on emulator..
