Where do bluetooth OBEX transfers from phone go?


I was just testing the bluetooth with my phone (Motorola L6) and linux. I sent an image from my phone to the computer via the OBEX file transfer and it worked. Where did the file go? What directory is it in??

Thanks!

I thought to your home directory (/home/username/), but you can just as well find it: let's say the filename was somefile.abc. To search it there are basically two methods: (s)locate and find. If you have had your machine on for some time (enough time) or run updatedb manually, locate is quicker, but find is good too. Let's say you haven't updated your slocate database after the file somefile.abc was transferred:

#1
Code:
su
updatedb && locate somefile.abc
You need to run updatedb as root, locate can be run as a regular user too, if you like. locate looks for match using a database that updatedb has created, so files moved/created after last updatedb won't show up as they should. Usually the database is updated every night or so, by default, but that can be changed too -- or run manually if in hurry. It might depend but I think updating slocate database and using locate is faster than using find.

#2
Code:
find / -name somefile.abc
Either method should show you the location.

Ok thanks... I used the find command and it showed me that the files were in /var/lib/bluetooth/opd
I appreciated your help!
