How to Use OBEXFTP to transfer files to Nokia mobile phones in Linux

In Linux, how to use OBEXFTP to transmit files to Nokia mobile phones-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information is as follows. Recently, mobile phones have developed rapidly. Whether it is accessing the Internet, shooting videos, sending and receiving text messages, MMS, e-mail, or listening to music or radio, mobile phones have become the most indispensable devices.

This article will teach you how to connect to the Pop-Port interface of your mobile phone through a USB connection and transfer files. Many Nokia mobile phones have this Pop-Port interface and I have a mobile phone like this (Nokia N70 ).

The problem now is that when you connect your phone to a Linux PC using a USB connection, nothing will happen. I bet you will see "Open... "dialog box, but these phones do not. Don't worry. I have a solution! You only need to follow the steps below:

Step 1-install required software

Open the new pack Manager (system> System Management> New pack manager) and search for obex. Mark the installation of the following software:

-Obexftp
-Openobex-apps

Other software packages that these two packages depend on will also be installed. When you click the "mark" button, you will be asked if you want to install these software packages. Click the "application" button to install these packages. After the installation is complete, close the new settings.

The above software packages contain command line-based tools, so now we need to install a beautiful graphical interface for them. ObexFTP Front-end is an easy-to-use, great obexftp graphical interface, it does not need to be installed, from
(Http://sourceforge.net/projects/obexftpfrontend/) download it and unzip it to your user directory.

Step 2-Advanced Settings

Now connect your phone to your PC using USB. Open a terminal (Application> attachment> terminal) and enter:

Lsusb

Some USB device information that you are currently connected to on the PC will be output, and it is easy to find my mobile phone:

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0421: 043a Nokia Mobile Phones

This line shows the manufacturer ID and product ID of the mobile phone. My Nokia N70 is:

VendorId = 0421 ProductId = 043a
Copy and paste the following command to the terminal:

Sudo gedit/etc/udev/rules. d/040-permissions.rules

Add the following line of text to the end of the file:

BUS = "usb", SYSFS {idVendor} = "VendorID", SYSFS {idProduct} = "ProductID", GROUP = "plugdev", USER = "yourUserNname"

Replace the manufacturer ID and product ID with the information output by the lsusb command, and replace yourUserNname with your username.
For example:

BUS = "usb", SYSFS {idVendor} = "0421", SYSFS {idProduct} = "043a", GROUP = "plugdev", USER = "marius"

Save and close. This tip allows you to access and use the usb port connected to your mobile phone.


Step 3-final adjustment

Right-click the desktop and choose create initiator option. In the displayed dialog box, select a beautiful icon, enter the program name you want to display, and enter the following in the Command box:

Java-jar/home/YOURUSERNAME/obexftp-frontend-0.6.1-bin/OBEXFTPFrontend. jar

Replace YOURUSERNAME with your username.

Now, you need to double-click the new starter. The ObexFTP Front-end will be opened and configured for you. The procedure is as follows:

Enter/usr/bin/ObexFTP in the obexftp path
Select USB as the transmission mode and fill in 1 in the Value column (the translator uses the new version of ObexFTP Front-end. Here, you only need to select the USB mode and do not need to fill in step 1)

Click confirm and close the configuration dialog box. Click the first button in the main window. The file structure in your mobile phone will be listed (if a connection error is prompted here, you may need to restart the system to make the previous settings take effect ), now you can transfer files to your mobile phone. Try it.
