Hi,

I've done a search on file transfer, but knowing little about linux, I'm not quite sure I'm read to install openssh yet :-/.

I was hoping I'd be able to transfer files easily using bluetooth between my PC and my N800 but I can't get it to work. The PC is running Vista, N800 is flashed to OS2008.

I have a nokia N6120, and this appears both in the Windows Explorer and is available to Nokia PC Suite, and it is an easy matter to drag files. I was hoping for something similar with the N800. Unfortunately, my Nokia PC Suite doesn't even recognise my N800 when I do Get Connected->Bluetooth connection - the search function doesn't find the device. I have bluetooth on and visible on the N800.

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help,
Spann

Hi,

I think you are a bit confused as the pc suite only supports s60 phones. if you use widcomm bluetooth stack, that can browse the it. maybe someone else can explain in more detail, im on a it

You're right I was well confused.

Never mind - have WinSCP and openssh working now.

Thanks anyway,
Spann
