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  avail-
       able.  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
