NAME

obexftp - Mobile Equipment file transfer tool

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

obexftp [OPTION] [COMMANDS]

DESCRIPTION

obexftp is used to access files on mobile equipment, i.e. cell phones. With obexftpd you can transfer files between any computers using IrDA, Bluetooth and TCP/IP.

This tool lets you access the ObexFTP library by the means of a command line interface. You might consider using the other means available. E.g. the ObexFS filesystem for Linux.

OPTIONS

The ordering of options is important. Every command will use the most recent device set. Every file without command switch will apply to the command given most recent. See EXAMPLES

Transport Options

-i, --irda Connect using the IrDA protocol. This is the default.
-b device, --bluetooth device Connect to this bluetooth device. If the device is not given the first device found will be used.
-B number, --channel number Use this bluetooth channel when connecting. The channel will be discoverd automatically if this option is not used.
-u intf no, --usb intf no Connect to this usb interface or list all available usb interfaces.
-t device, --tty device Connect to this tty device.
-n host, --network host Connect to this network host.

Compatibility Options

-U uuid, --uuid uuid Select the UUID to connect with. Recognized values are currently none needed by some Nokia mobile devices, FBS (default) for the normal file browsing service, IRMC for IRMC synchronisation and S45 when connecting to a Siemens S45.
-H, --noconn Suppress connection IDs (i.e. send no connection header to the mobile).
-S, --nopath Don’t use setpath commands (i.e. send the whole path as filename to the mobile). Can be used together with --noconn and --uuid none to send an OBEX-PUSH.

Setting The File Path

-c folder, --chdir folder Set the mobiles current working directory.
-C folder, --mkdir folder Set the mobiles current working directory. The folder will be created if it doesn’t exist.
-l folder, --list folder List a folder.

Sending And Retrieving Files

-g source, --get source Retrieve files from mobile.
-G source, --getdelete source Retrieve files from mobile and delete them on the mobile
-p source, --put source Send files to the mobile.
-k source, --delete source Delete files from the mobile.

Experimental Extras

-X, --capability Retrieve the capability object from the mobile (if available).
-x, --info Retrieve misc infos from mobile. I.e. memory size and free memory. Siemens specific for now.
-m src dest, --move src dest Move (rename) files on the mobile. Siemens specific for now.

Version Information And Help

-v, --verbose Be verbose and give some additional infos.
-V, --version Print version string and exit.
-h, --help, --usage Print short usage instructions.

EXAMPLES

To get the directory listing from the first irda device: obexftp -i -l or just obexftp -l as IrDA is the default.
To get the file bar from directory foo from the first bluetooth device: obexftp -b -c foo -g bar
To send the file bar to directory foo with device on first serial port: obexftp -t /dev/ttyS0 -c foo -p bar
