Browsing the contents of another phone via Bluetooth

5 replies · 31 views · Started 07 July 2006

Q. Is it possible to browse the contents of another phone via Bluetooth? My old Samsung could do this. Once paired you would also have the option to browse the files of the phone (images, video and audio).

Read on in the full article.

The fact that "Nokia smartphones, which have a proper operating system" should make this even easier! For example on my Linux desktop using KDE (which has pretty good bluetooth integration) I am able to browse the contents of C: and E: of my E70. I can copy files to and from the phone with ease. It would be even better if I was able to do this on the phone itself (ie browse any device that supports obex ftp).

Security has nowt to do with it.

It's called the FTP profile - and Symbian supports it. Nokia just don't seem to provide a client for it. A third party application might be able to do this.
