the feature bits of the SDP record shows you what function do the FX77
really support.

As I said above, check the feature bits first. But you are right, you
must use OpenOBEX and the native operations are put, get and setpath.
The rest is XML related stuff.

Check the opd and the obex repository in the BlueZ CVS.
