is there any kind of free software that will allow me to browse and transfer multipe files between to pda's via bluetooth?
I want this not for malicious acts but so that me an my wife can share pictures and info between our phones in a file explorer fashion instead of one at at time.

Hi,
I would like to transfer files between phones using bluetooth.
I can set up a synch between two devices (e.g. my wifes Sony-Ericsson) but I cannot find any way of using the connection to transfer files.
Have I missed something simple?
Thanks,
Joe

Just use OBEX file transfer - that is, simple Beam File from your File Explorer on your Pocket PC (and send file or something like that on the phone). See for example http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for more info on file transfer issues over BT.
Hey
I've had my Orange SPV 3100 for about a week and a half now. 1st impressions is great. Just awaiting for the microSD to be delivered (Tight gits Orange dont provide one in the box ) to take full advantage of the M3100's capabilities.
Anyways
I've been accessing the web through my home wi-fi set up but what I really want to do is be able to access my files on my PC thru my M3100 using wi-fi rather than being conected using the USB and vice versa. Ideally i want to be able to copy files between the two. I've searched on this forum and others but havent come across anything yet I was just wondering if this was possible and how I'd go about doing it.
Thanks in Advance
All Help Appreciated.
Yeah, I"m interested in this too.
I have googling few days with different queries for accessing PPC files over WiFi, but without success.
The only software I have found which can access files from PPC over WiFi is SOTI Pocket Controller Pro, but it is far from ideal (e.g. cannot map PPC folder to drive on desktop PC) so you can only copy/move files between this app and windows explorer. Using file managers like Total Commander isn"t possible or other software (e.g. sync software) which access data by drive letters.
Second solution which I have is to set up FTP server on PPC (like ShareIT FTP Server) and use ftp-to-drive software on desktop PC, but I havn"t test this yet). In this case using Total Commander and other file managers would be possible, but I havn"t yet test this.
The last possible solution would be sharing desktop PC folder as an virtual storage card with microsoft network file sharing service and accessing it from PPC by apps like PocketLAN - but this is accessing PC"s files from PPC - which is not point of interest of this thread.
So finally, I havn"t found easy way to access PPC storage over WiFi.
Anyone have other ideas?
I have just received my Sprint Mogul and would like to send files over bluetooth but I cant seem to do so. Is there anyway to do this without paying for a program like Resco File explorer because this is a very important feature for me.
Here is what u need

download the KAISER BT Client with this you will be able to send and receive files over Bluetooth
so i just download the BT FTP client and install it like any other program.
I have Resco but I had problems transferring files via BT even with that. The Kaiser's BT FTP app took care of that. Since then I've no problems tranferring between my Mogul and other PDA's as well as my laptop.
Most Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices are shipped with Microsoft Bluetooth stack, only few of them use others (like Widcomm Bluetooth stack). Among all the Bluetooth services that may be implemented in the stack, OBEX FTP is the most common service.
OBEX FTP Bluetooth service can be used to share files through Bluetooth, not only by sending files but also by allowing remote devices to browse local shared folders and download files.
...
There exists a Directory Traversal vulnerability in the OBEX FTP Service in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack implemented in Windows Mobile 5.0 & 6 devices. A remote attacker (who previously owned authentication and authorization rights) can use tools like ObexFTP or gnomevfs-ls to traverse to parent directories out of the default Bluetooth shared folder by using ../ or ..\\ marks. This means the attacker can browse folders located on a lower level, download files contained in those folders as well as upload files to those folders.
The only requirement is that the attacker must have authentication and authorization privileges over the OBEX FTP service. Pairing up with the remote Windows Mobile device should be enough to get it. In case the attacker succeeded in getting the proper privileges, further actions will be transparent to the user

I don't see this as a vulnerability, it has its good and bad use. the only way for to even get in to the device is to pair with the device, and only an Ass-hat would actually pair a device they don't know.
I think there was an app called bluetooth explorer which allows the option to explore folders on the connected device (don't really remember if that was the name)
can someone please tell which other mobile OS offers the option to send files over bluetooth? I'm just curious, I think WinMo offers this but I don't want to sound like an ass-head declaring this as fact.
it would be a real vulnerability if the attacker could do all that without any user intervention
Hey!
I want to transfer (image) files between my android phone and a pc. Am I correct in assuming that as long as the phone is already configured and connected to the same wifi network as the pc, I just use standard java code (like sockets) to transfer the files to/from the phone?
If not, could anyone point me to the android specific way of exchanging files over wifi?
Look up WebSharing app in market
SwiFTP or Symbian
No no, it looks like I didn't word it right. I'm not after an existing app to transfer files.
The application that I'm coding does a lot more than just exchange files, it's just that I need to code some file exchange as part of the application.
JCIFS Samba, I believe is what you need.
