The File Transfer service allows one Bluetooth device to perform file operations on the default File
Transfer directory (and the folders and files it contains) of another Bluetooth device.

On the machine from which the File Transfer service will be used:

1. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood.
2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere except on a device

name and select Refresh from the pop-up menu.

3. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click the device you want to transfer files

with and select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu to update the available
services list. The available services will be displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth
Places.

4. Still in the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, click the plus ( + ) sign in front of Public

Folder to expand that folder. If there are additional folders inside the expanded folder then
those additional folders may have to be expanded. Folder contents are displayed in the right
pane of My Bluetooth Places.


In the right pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click a folder item and select an option from the pop-up
menu. A dialog box (the title varies, depending on the operation being carried out) appears and the
status line (bottom of the dialog box) indicates the operational to be carried out:

• Open files (using the associated application) or folders (expanded to show their contents)
• Print files by sending the selected server file to the client’s default printer.
• Send files to 3.5” Floppy Drive (client’s diskette drive) or My Shared Folder (client’s default

File Transfer folder).

• Cut files transfers to the Windows clipboard. When the clipboard contents are pasted to a

new location, the originally selected file(s) on the server are deleted.

• Copy files transfers to the Windows clipboard.
• Delete files removes selected file(s) and/or folder(s) on the server.
• Rename files changes an empty folder’s name.
• Properties displays the file or folder’s properties dialog box.


Depending upon the context of the menu, these additional options may appear:

• Update: updates the contents of a folder.
• New Folder: creates a new folder on the server.
• Abort FTP Operation: stops an in-process File Transfer operation.
