[Bluez-users] File Transfer via Bluetooth

[Bluez-users] File Transfer via Bluetooth

[Hannes Reiff]

Hi All,

I'm using two pcs to create a pan connection so that both have access to the
web. No problems. But when it comes to exchange files between the the two pcs -
what has to be done? Is it possible to establish NFS over bluetooth? (I know
there are some threads - but no solutions).

Hope you can help me!

Thanks,

Hannes

If you have the network already working, the hard part is done.

You just have to set up a server daemon on the computer you want to 
"serve" files, and use the correct client on the "client" computer to 
retrieve (or push) files. Each of your computers should have a static IP 
(on the private PAN network). If you don't want to use IP addresses, you 
can edit your /etc/hosts file to give them "real" names.

If you just want to be able to transfer a file here or there, I would 
suggest using scp (secure copy, part of the SSH suite of tools). Make 
sure that at least one of your computers (the server) is running sshd. 
On the other computer (client) use scp to cpy files. (e.g. scp 
"username@server.hostname:~/file_in_users_home_dir.txt ." will copy a 
file from the server into the current directory (the trailing dot 
specifies the current directory).

If you want to mount a filesystem, NSF (or Samba/SMB) would work as 
well, but is a lot harder to setup/configure than scp.

I used telnet and ssh to send files from one server to the other. I consider scp
a another possibility.

But it sounds interesting :) Could you please give me some more details?
Thanks.
