Stepping through a “sudo ./obexftp -u 1 -c ‘/C:/Data’ -l” with ddd, reveals a few interesting things

I can give you a shell on my machine, there is a nokia E50 connected to it and it is working beautifully with obexftp. Send me confirmation to my email, and ill give you credentials.

OK, i just downloaded the obexftp source, let me see the “happy path” it takes when i connect over usb, and i’ll give you what i find.

I’m also thinking of intergrating my prompt into obexftp itself, so to make it a proper “ftp” client

cruiseoveride: I’ve filed a bug to track the USB feature as bug 119801. I haven’t managed to connect to do OBEX over USB with my phone (a Nokia 6230), so haven’t really had any motivation or opportunity to work on it.

If you can work out how to identify OBEX over USB devices (maybe via the data HAL discovers?), and how to establish the connection, that could be useful.

I needed a really quick and simple solution to obexftp, so in 3hrs i wrote my own bash like program that simply parses the xml output from obexftp commands using libxml and lets me, so far, “ls”,”cd”.”cp” haha, what a silly stupid program.

I wish i knew how to use gnome-vfs, i really need usb support, can i help you?
I dont know much about gnome-vfs or obex, but i can write any boiler plate code you need.
