Starting with that version hcid provides a functionally equivalent RFCOMM D-Bus interface as btcond from osso-gwconnect does (which is what the OBEX module uses). However, this interface is currently categorized as experimental which means you need to give hcid the -x option for it to be enabled.<p/>The osso-gwobex dependency can hopefully also be removed in the future. Work has started on glib bindings for openobex which would be functionally equivalent to the async API the gwobex provides. You can see the current work in the glib subdirectory of the openobex CVS on sourceforge. Hopefully we can release a first version during the autumn (within a month or so). Hi,

I once tried to do something like this using Gammu (when it forked from Gnokii), but ended up trying to cut myself instead. It’s great that this has been done (not that my phone has bluetooth).

Once i managed to transfer files to/from phone via obex with fuse and obexfs, just frontend to obexftp. (http://www.bani.com.br/?p=10 – Brazilian Portuguese)

Seeing that feature in nautilus/gnomevfs is very cool!

Will it in 2.16?

So if your phone can do OBEX FTP over IR, you could still use it.<p/>John: The screenshot is from an Ubuntu Edgy system, which has Gnome 2.16. You won't find it in the default install though -- I compiled the code from the Maemo Subversion repository (with the few modifications listed in the main text). Johan: great news!

There are HAL objects for every phone detected, which can be probed and so on. Matthew Garrett was doing some very interesting work that would replace bits of this, by integrating BlueZ into HAL.

What's wrong with nautilus-sendto-bluetooth? I use it regularly for sending files to my phone - right click file, Send to..., pick the phone - and it works very well and seems brain-dead simple to me. Sending files from the phone to the PC I do from, well, the phone, which also seems to make sense. What am I missing? :) I may be missing something obvious here, but why does everyone want to use OBEX FTP directly? What’s wrong with nautilus-sendto-bluetooth?
