This is part 3 of the DSL irda how-to. In order to proceed from here, you will need to have irda up and running on your DSL machine as described in part 1 - see post "How to start irda & check it works"
In order to transfer files to/from your mobile phone over an irda connection, you need to first make sure that the irda mode on the phone is set to "pc-connect" and not "modem" or similar. Apparently, although the irda link can be used for dial-up and file transfers, it needs to be told which to expect.
Now we need to load the various OBEX packages from Debian stable:
# apt-get install obexftp
# apt-get install obexserver
# apt-get install openobex-apps
According to Google, there are several ways to transfer files but I could not get all of them to work:
1. Using the obex test application
To send a file from your phone to DSL machine.
# obex_test
Using IrDA transport
OBEX Interactive test client/server.
> s [now enter the "send file over irda" command on your phone]
connect_server()
Server request finished!
server_done() Command (00) has now finished

To send a file from your DSL machine to the phone. The file appears in the "beamed" folder on my phone.
# obex_test
Using IrDA transport
OBEX Interactive test client/server.
> c
Connect OK!
Version: 0x10. Flags: 0x00
> p Events Events
PUT file (local, remote)> name=Events, size=119
Going to send 119 bytes
PUT successful!

<ctrl-c>
2. Using the irobex_palm3 application - even though this is not the model of my phone:
# irobex_palm3 Events
Send and receive files to Palm3
name=Events, size=119
PUT successful
# irobex_palm3
Send and receive files to Palm3
Waiting for files
......................................HEADER_LENGTH = 38538
put_done() Skipped header 42
put_done() Skipped header 44
Filename = missionimpossible.mid
Wrote /tmp/missionimpossible.mid (38538 bytes)
3. Using the obexftp application
Note that I was unable to get this to work:
That's it - have fun (and I'm still working on mounting the phone as an obexfs).
