And your question is a bit vague...setting up bluetooth, and getting it to transfer file(s) and other info are two different things. Do you already HAVE bluetooth working? If so, what desktop are you using? Both Gnome and KDE have OBEX servers, which put a handy icon in the systray, for such things....

my question is just how can i transfer files from my linux pc to my bluetooth enabled phone and vice versa, what packages i need to install?
