Status on Samsung devices

Samsung SGH-E215L – working

Just configure your phone properly:

* Setup all the files you want to download to be "visible through bluetooth" _'in your phone'_!
* Disable "secure mode" _'in your phone'_, if you have trouble with pin. Afterwards you can enable it, if you wish :P

To configure pairing:

* #obexftpd -b

Your computer will be waiting for bluetooth connections, then begin sending a photo from your phone to your pc or laptop. And it’s donne!
Now you can browse your phone, if you wish with obexftp or just keep sending files through obexftpd as before. Of course, you must have setup hcid.conf with your pin(passkey).

Samsung D500 – working

• If you want use the command:
  obexftp -b xxxx -l path
  You must put a “/“ at end of the path.

Examples: obexftp -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -l images/

• You can’t choose where to put a file. The cellphone automatically select the right destination looking at the extension.

This goes for almost every bluetooth enabled Samsung phone, so you’re bound to see the same comment everywhere.

Samsung D900 – working

• Files need an extension to be uploaded : text files need a .txt.

Samsung E530 – working

• If you want use the command:
  obexftp -b xxxx -l path
  You must put a “/“ at end of the path.

Examples: obexftp -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -l Images/

• You can’t choose where to put a file. The cellphone automatically select the right destination looking at the extension.

Samsung E720 – working?

Someone reported the SGH-E720 working.

Samsung E720i – working

The E720i is working fine, but there are some uncommmon things:

• obexftp -l path only works with a / appended to path (i.e. -l Music/)
• you can put appropriate files only into the Down[lL]oaded .*, Music and Other Files folders

Samsung E730 – working

• If you want use the command:
  obexftp -b xxxx -l path
  You must put a “/“ at the end and at beginning of path.
  Examples: obexftp -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -l /Images/

• You can’t choose where to put a file. The cellphone automatically select the right destination.

Samsung X700 – working

• If you want use the command:
  obexftp -b xxxx -l path
  You must put the path in a -c option, however only folders are listed, not plain files.
  Example: obexftp -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -c /Images/ -l
  Slashes before and after the directory don’t matter.

• You can’t choose where to put a file. The cellphone automatically selects the download folder.

Samsung E900 – working

• If you want use the command:
  obexftp -b xxxx -l path
  You must put the path in a -c option, however only folders are listed, not plain files (except files uploaded via obexftp).
  Examples: obexftp -b 00:16:DB:E1:60:C5 -B 9 -c "DownLoaded Images" -l

• If you want to use the command:
  obexftp -b XXXXX -p file
  The cellphone will choose automaticly the location of the destination file so you can’t provide dest path.

• If you want to use the command:
  obexftp - b XXXX -c path -g file
  This only works for files that are explicitly marked as “Visible for Bluetooth”. A marked file will be
  shown with a blue bluetooth icon.
