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
