Bluetooth Fuse OBEXFS under Debian

Because the Gnome Bluetooth tools are not in Debian it makes it kinda hard to transfer files to a BT enabled phone. However, there is a really neat project out there called OBEXFS, which uses Filesystem in Userspace to mount an OBEX device, like a phone, as another folder on your computer.

First thing is to set up the basic system for using fuse

modprobe fuse

or

echo fuse >> /etc/modules
adduser  fuse

Now, get and compile the obexfs programs

./configure && make && sudo make install

Finally, the magic lines. Nokia phones use channel 10 for OBEX transfer, so:

mkdir -p ~/mnt/bluetooth
obexfs -b <BT MAC ADDRESS> -B 10 ~/mnt/bluetooth/

If you need to find your BT MAC address use:

hcitool scan

Requirements:
apt-get install fuse-utils bluetooth
