The Bluetooth File Transfer service allows any two Bluetooth-enabled devices to exchange files.
To send a file (e.g., an image file in the Gallery application) from your mobile phone, navigate to the file and choose Send Via Bluetooth from the Options menu. Then, choose a device from a list of local devices to send the file to. The devices are identified by their Bluetooth names.
When a Nokia phone receives an incoming file, the file is delivered to the Inbox. When the user opens the message, the phone automatically identifies the file type and processes it accordingly. For example, a received image is saved to the Gallery, a business card is stored to the Contacts list, and an application installation package is executed. To send a file from a computer, you need to use an operating systemspecific Bluetooth file exchange utility, described in the following sections.
You can send only one file at a time over Bluetooth. Hence, this method can be tedious if you need to transfer many files (e.g., photos from a multiday trip). The ZipMan application, available from Symbian (http://www.wildpalm.co.uk/ZipMan7650.html), allows you to create a zip archive of multiple files on your phone and send them all together to a computer. If you need to send many files from a PC to your phone, you can also zip them together first and then use Zip-Man to extract the files from the archive once the phone receives the zipped file.
Windows versions before XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
With the WIDCOMM Bluetooth utility installed, you can use the File Transfer service to send and receive files. You can right-click the Bluetooth icon in the system tray to bring up the pop-up menu that lists all available services. The received files and business cards are automatically stored into specified directories on the local disk. You can configure those destination directories in the Bluetooth configuration tool.
Windows XP SP2.
On Windows XP SP2, a Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard is located under the Start Programs Accessories Communications menu. The wizard allows you to send and receive files to and from other Bluetooth devices. If you choose to send a file, the wizard first prompts you to choose a target device and then asks you to select the file to send from the PC. If you choose to receive a file, the PC listens for the incoming file and prompts you to save it once it arrives. Alternatively, you can right-click the Bluetooth icon in the system tray and select the "Send a file" or "Receive a file" menu item to directly invoke the appropriate functionalities in the Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard.
You have to click the "Receive a file" choice to prepare the PC to receive files over Bluetooth. Otherwise, the device will show a Connection Failed message when you try to send a file to the PC.
