Pairing with Bluetooth device
Before sending files bluetooth devices should be paired.
You can manage bluetooth with bluetoothctl, type 'bluetoothctl' and enter the CLI. Type help to show commands.
For pairing a device do the following:
$ bluetoothctl [bluetooth]# power on [bluetooth]# agent on [bluetooth]# default-agent [bluetooth]# pairable on [bluetooth]# scan on Copy mac address [bluetooth]# scan off [bluetooth]# pair <mac address> Approve pairing on Device if required [bluetooth]# trust <mac address> [bluetooth]# quit
Sending files using OBEX Protocol
To send a file to a paired device use obexctl tool.
