Transfer file to Bluetooth device
Hi
I have blue tooth application that can transfer files to a smart phone and contact cards.It can also transfer contact cards to mobile phone.
What it can do is send a file/message to a mobile phone.All the examples on the net send files to a pocket pc application.
What format must my file be in and is it possible to send the file. Im using Obex to transfer files
Thanks

you would have to send it via a COM port assigned.
So usually when you activesync the mobile device to the PC, usually the COM port is 6 - you can then send files via that COM port. It's all really down to the connection port, when you can recieve a handle/access it then you can use it.
I have not done the file transfer stuff but have done major developments on the smartphone/Windows Mobile platform so I know a fair amount about it.
The device also has to be able to have the "recieve incoming beams" option selected
:) hope it gives you some starting point

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Will the port connection work for mobile phones as well. Thats the target im hitting. As I said I got it to work using OBEX to transfer vcard. But I need to send an alert via bluetooth to the phone. And not use GSM technlogy.
Thanks

Hi
So does that mean all i need is to know which com port it is connected to and send text it.
So i can use hyperterminal to test this method before writing the code for it.
Ill try it out and see how it goes.
Thanks

that is the theory :)
As long as you can active sync it - that's all it requires. Connecting a device via bluetooth is generally done via an assigned COM port

Hi
I tried it out this weekend. I connected to the correct port an sent at and it said ok. But thats all i could do nothing more.
Also sent AT*EOBEX and it said Connect.
