Bluetooth file transfer in linux
 

Hi, I have a custom board with ARM architecture with linux running on it. I have cross-compiled the required packages including the blueZ, openobex, obexd and bluez-tools. The bluetooth is working fine upto scanning and pairing with the mobiles as well, but issue comes up when I try to transfer the files over bluetooth.
I'm using the bt-obex to transfer the files, but that complains that obexd is not running, while its already running and have a PID.
Next I tried to cross-compile the obexftp, tried with that also, but no luck.
Tried to connect for 675ms
Sending ""...|failed: /
The operation failed with return code 1
Receiving "(null)"... failed: (null)
The operation failed with return code 32
Disconnecting...failed: disconnect
Stuck at this point. Please help.

If you're trying to do this with iPhones then forget it, they don't support file transfer.

Bluetooth file transfer in linux
 

It is obvious that bluetooth don't work with Iphones, and I'm also not trying with that. I have tried with Moto G and Moto E both.

Ok, now the obexd problem is solved. I'm able to send the files to remote device (moto g here) from my custom board, not not the reverse way, i.e from remote device to the board. In this case I think authorisation is the problem when i tried with obexftp
obexd[2345]: bluetooth: New connection from: 9C:2A:70:D0:E5:DE, channel 10
obexd[2345]: bluetooth: RequestAuthorization error: org.bluez.Error.NotAuthorized, Operation Not Authorized
Can you please tel me how to receive files using bt-obex?
Also now obexftpd gies out the error when run
obexftpd -c / -b &
[2] 2351
failed to register bluetooth server: Address already in use
Please guide me for file transfer with bt-obex and obexftp as well.

May i know how "return code 1" problem is solved?
 

could you please share steps to do trasnfer & receive files from a board?

I want to transfer files to my laptop from my desktop using bluetooth. On my laptop Linux Mint 14 and on my desktop Ubuntu 12.04 is running.
