One thing however:<p/>About the "NFTP" service identifier, that's actually something that btcond supported but hcid doesn't. You'll have to give the exact UUID-128 to hcid instead as<br/>"00005005-0000-1000-8000-0002ee000001" (I hope that's correct).<p/>What it's about: some Nokia Symbian phones have two OBEX FTP services: one identified with the normal UUID and another with a Nokia specific 128 bit UUID. The service found behind the normal identifier is very limited in features on these phones while the other one supports full OBEX FTP (don't ask me why).<br/> I took a look at the code and it looks good.

You're awsome.... I've installed the software succesfully and everything works. Great.....<p/>B.t.w. mine gives me the full name after a while... and it's fully useable in nautilus. (Pretty stable...)<br/>I'f you wan't some testers just let me know....(just say so on your blog.... )<br/>GReat great great.... Thank you man. You’re awsome….

This is awesome. I've been thinking for some time now, though, that OBEX != bluetooth.<p/>There are at least four other media commonly (or less commonly) used for OBEX: USB, IrDA, Serial, and TCP/IP. All of these are supported by OpenOBEX.<p/>I've been told that IrDA is somewhat harder to deal with but USB should be pretty easy. Serial might not be worth implementing. TCP/IP, if supported at all, probably doesn't need to be discoverable (unless of course it's advertised through mDNS). Thanks! This is awesome.

I implemented that a bit after posting this article.<p/>Andrew/Alex: Matthew Garrett has plans to add bluetooth device support to HAL, which would help here. If I can look up IrDA OBEX and Bluetooth OBEX devices in the HAL hardware database by some property, then it should be possible to support both: the only bluetooth specific code is for listing the paired devices and creating RFCOMM connections.

what’s wrong?

How do I enable the gnome-vfs-2.0 modules?
