irftp[Drive:\] [[Path] FileName] [/h]

irftp/s

Parameters
Drive:\
Specifies the drive that contains the files that you want to send over an infrared link.
[ Path] FileName
Specifies the location and name of the file or set of files that you want to send over an infrared link. If you specify a set of files, you must specify the full path for each file.
/h

/s
Opens the Wireless Link dialog box, so that you can select the file or set of files that you want to send without using the command line to specify the drive, path, and file names.
Remarks
  • Before using this command, verify that the devices that you want to communicate over an infrared link have infrared functionality enabled and working correctly, and that an infrared link is established between the devices.
