The Bluetooth File Explorer lets your mobile computer share files with
another Bluetooth enabled device. The other device must support the OBEX
File Transfer server profile.
This section covers the following file transfer operations:
• Prepare for file transfer
• Send/receive file(s) or
folder(s)
• Create a folder
• Delete file(s) or
folder(s)
• Refresh remote view
• Connect/disconnect
• Exit the program
Note: “Local device” refers to the mobile computer you are running Socket
OBEX from. “Remote device” refers to the Bluetooth device you are trying
to transfer files to.
Prepare for File Transfer
1. Make sure the remote device has file sharing enabled. It must support
the OBEX File Transfer server profile.
IMPORTANT! If the other device is not set up to share
files, you will not be able to transfer files to it!
Note: If the other device is also using the Socket Bluetooth Connection
Kit, you can enable file sharing by tapping the Bluetooth icon. In the
pop-up menu, tap Transfer via Bluetooth | Enable File Sharing.
2. Now you are ready to browse the remote device. Tap on the Bluetooth
icon. In the pop-up menu, tap Transfer via Bluetooth | Browse Remote
Device.
3. If you did not save any devices to the Bluetooth Devices Folder that
support OBEX File Transfer, then your mobile computer will begin to
search for Bluetooth enabled devices in range.
