is there a GUI app for copying via Bluetooth

Title says it really, but I should add I am using Xubuntu and do not wish to install GNOME libs.

My device is visible and connected using bluez-utils scripts however, I cannot copy files in Thunar nor Firefox - is it even possible??

Is there an app I can run on Xubuntu that does not require GNOME?

thanks in advance.

You can use ObexFS to mount a remote file system on your cell phone. That would allow you to use the standard GUI file management utilities on the phone as if it were a local device.

Aside from that, there is ObexFTP Front-end which is a Java GUI for the standard Obex file transfer tools. I didn't like it too much myself personally, but it is worth a shot.

ObexFS installed from synaptic.

All A-okay

Cheers buddy.
