obexftp - Mobile Equipment file transfer tool

obexftp [OPTION] [COMMANDS]

obexftp is used to access files on mobile equipment, i.e. cell phones.

This tool lets you access the ObexFTP library by the means of a command line interface. You might consider using the other means available. E.g. GTK Client gObexFtp, Gnome-VFS-Module vfs-obexftp and some others.

The ordering of options is important. Every command will use the most recent device set. Every file without command switch will apply to the command given most recent. See EXAMPLES
