NAME

       obexftp - Mobile Equipment file transfer tool

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.

       -d no/address, --hci no/address
              Use the bluetooth device referenced by number or address as source device for the connection.

       -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 Mobile phone via cable or "SHARP" for
              PCSOFTWARE UUID with Sharp devices.

       -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
       -o path, --output path
              Specify the target file name, overriding the implicit local name from --get or the implicit remote
              name from --put

       -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).

       -Y, --probe
              Probe and report device characteristics

       -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

       It is possible to use RfComm (serial port over bluetooth)
              obexftp -t /dev/rfcomm0 -c foo -p bar

       And also IrComm (serial port over IrDA)
              obexftp -t /dev/ircomm0 -c foo -p bar

       To send the file bar using plain OBEX PUSH
              obexftp --bluetooth --nopath --noconn --uuid none --put bar
