Which phone are you using? Works straight away with my nOkia 6280 but just wondering if there's problems with other bluetooth implementations

So i changed the 770 to a n800. I can still browse my phone files directly from the n800. Now i want to do the same with my PC, hence browse my PC files from the Nokia. I paired up my PC with the Nokia like i did with the phone, however, the PC's filesystem doesn't show up in the Nokia's File Manager whereas the phones filesystem does.
Do i need to do something at the PC side to enable this?

You need something on the PC side - but I don't know exactly what it's supposed to be called. Someone will fill in here, hopefully. Probably some obex-* server thing.

Yeah. I found out that there is something like OBEX PUSH that allows you to send files over BT and OBEX FTP that allows you to browse files. Apparently the phones have both services whereas a PC only has OBEX PUSH. I've been asking Mr. Google if there is a piece of OBEX FTP software for XP, but he says he doesn't know...

The goal is to get the Bluetooth virtual file system that is displayed

laptop running kubuntu dapper.
The problem is that kubuntu, at least as it was configured at startup,
does not offer nor advertise the OBEX FTP service, which is different
than the OBEX OPUSH service. The N800 File Manager seems to only want
OBEX FTP.
I couldn't find a kde program that offered this and that did this
properly, but sobexsrv came to the rescue.
You can get it from
http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/sobexsrv.php
I grabbed the debian package, which worked fine for me.
After installing it, simply type
sobexsrv -I -l ONPTD -s 3 -S -r /tmp/sobex -c 10 -o
You may need to change some settings, but these worked for me. The
command line switches used are:
-I Use internal mode, which is a stand-alone daemon
-l ONTPD Give lots of information in file browser
-s 3 Require authentication and encryption
( use -s 1 to start out with, then try 2 and 3)
-r /tmp/sobex Use /tmp/sobex as the root directory
(Change this if you feel luck or irrationally
secure)
-c 10 Listen on rfcomm channel 10
(Leave this out to choose the lowest available
port automatically)
-o Don't run an OBEX OPUSH server, just OBEX FTP
(so this won't interfere with kdebluetoothd)
It runs in the background, so to stop it, run
killall sobexsrv
It seems likely that sobexsrv might work as a helper to kdebluetoothd
using the sobexsrv external mode, but the documentation isn't very good
on that part (the scripting section of the manual isn't there yet) so
that will be explored later.
Cheers,
bd

Hmm...I just did exactly what Bad Dog posted to do on a Linux box, only I installed it and ran it on the N800 itself. Now I can freely browse the entire device from my Mac.
Excellent. Now to just throw into a script that's run at startup and I'm good.

Yeah, I've done this with my N80. Which surprised me at the time because if the tablets can do this with phones, why not Windows PCs? That's a rhetorical question here...
Today i found a nice cool feature that i didn't know it existed. I was moving files from my phone 6630 to my 770 by using a cardreader and later by using bluetooth.
When i was looking at the results on the 770, in the File Manager on the 770 i saw the Nokia 770 files, the memory card and the name of my phone with a C: and a E: drive below it.
Turns out you can browse, play, copy and paste all your phone files from the 770.
That made my life a lot easier!!
