File Transfer Settings
The profile OBEX File Transfer is used for
transferring files. In the File Transfer Settings
dialog box, you can view or edit the location of the
physical My Shared Files folder. Furthermore, you
can make decisions concerning the security
aspects of remote users’ access to the files in “My
Shared Files”.
To open the File Transfer Settings dialog box:
1. On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile
Properties, and click OBEX File Transfer.
2.
At the top of the OBEX File Transfer
Properties dialog box, click the tab File
Transfer Settings.
• Shared Files folder: By default, the “physical”
shared files folder is placed in My Documents
in a folder named Bluetooth. This is where the
shared files are actually placed on your
system. However, you can move the Shared
Files folder to any location you want. To
browse for a different location, click the "..."
button.
• Security: From this item you can make
settings regarding which kind of access
remote users will have to your local My
Shared Files folder, i.e. whether they will be
allowed to read, edit, and delete the contents
of the folder. You can choose among:
– Read only access; or
– Read and write access; or
– Read, write, and delete access.
Furthermore, if you select Remote users are
required to be authenticated ..., remote
users will have to enter a password before
they can access your shared files. In the field
at the bottom of the dialog box, you can type
the password you require remote users to
enter.
The default settings are as shown in the
above illustration.
