NAME

6       obexftp - Mobile Equipment file transfer tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       obexftp [OPTION] [COMMANDS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       obexftp is used to access files on mobile equipment, i.e. cell phones.
13       With obexftpd you can transfer files between any computers using IrDA,
14       Bluetooth and TCP/IP.
15
16       This tool lets you access the ObexFTP library by the means of a command
17       line interface.  You might consider using the other means available.
18       E.g. the ObexFS filesystem for Linux.
19

OPTIONS

21       The ordering of options is important. Every command will use the most
22       recent device set. Every file without command switch will apply to the
23       command given most recent. See EXAMPLES
24
25       Transport Options
26
27       -i, --irda
28           Connect using the IrDA protocol. This is the default.
29
30       -b device, --bluetooth device
31           Connect to this bluetooth device. If the device is not given the
32           first device found will be used.
33
34       -B number, --channel number
35           Use this bluetooth channel when connecting.  The channel will be
36           discoverd automatically if this option is not used.
37
38       -d no/address, --hci no/address
39           Use the bluetooth device referenced by number or address as source
40           device for the connection.
41
42       -u intf no, --usb intf no
43           Connect to this usb interface or list all available usb interfaces.
44
45       -t device, --tty device
46           Connect to this tty device.
47
48       -n host, --network host
49           Connect to this network host.
50
51       Compatibility Options
52
53       -U uuid, --uuid uuid
54           Select the UUID to connect with. Recognized values are currently
55           "none" needed by some Nokia mobile devices, "FBS" (default) for the
56           normal file browsing service, "IRMC" for IRMC synchronisation and
57           "S45" when connecting to a Siemens Mobile phone via cable or
58           "SHARP" for PCSOFTWARE UUID with Sharp devices.
59
60       -H, --noconn
61           Suppress connection IDs (i.e. send no connection header to the
62           mobile).
63
64       -S, --nopath
65           Don't use "setpath" commands (i.e. send the whole path as filename
66           to the mobile).  Can be used together with --noconn and --uuid none
67           to send an OBEX-PUSH.
68
69       Setting The File Path
70
71       -c folder, --chdir folder
72           Set the mobiles current working directory.
73
74       -C folder, --mkdir folder
75           Set the mobiles current working directory.  The folder will be cre‐
76           ated if it doesn't exist.
77
78       -l folder, --list folder
79           List a folder.
80
81       Sending And Retrieving Files
82
83       -o path, --output path
84           Specify the target file name, overriding the implicit local name
85           from --get or the implicit remote name from --put
86
87       -g source, --get source
88           Retrieve files from mobile.

EXAMPLES

125       To get the directory listing from the first irda device:
126           obexftp -i -l or just obexftp -l as IrDA is the default.
127
128       To get the file bar from directory foo from the first bluetooth device:
129           obexftp -b -c foo -g bar
130
131       To send the file bar to directory foo with device on first serial port:
132           obexftp -t /dev/ttyS0 -c foo -p bar
133
134       It is possible to use RfComm (serial port over bluetooth):
135           obexftp -t /dev/rfcomm0 -c foo -p bar
136
137       And also IrComm (serial port over IrDA):
138           obexftp -t /dev/ircomm0 -c foo -p bar
139
140       To send the file bar using plain OBEX PUSH:
141           obexftp --bluetooth --nopath --noconn --uuid none --put bar
