Sending files from pc to phone via bluetooth

[novakedy]

Alright,
i just bought a bluetooth 2.0 adapter for the computer.
vista apparently doesn't want to install the driver for my phone, so i decided to switch on over to fc6 for bluetooth support.
i'm (very obviously) using bluetooth 0.7.0.
the adapter is plugged in, so i search for devices on my phone and i find my computer.

i can send files to my computer perfectly (pictures, ringtones, videos)
but my problem is sending them from computer to phone.

when i right click the file and select "send to" i click my bluetooth phone.
it says sending and it says "incoming transfer" on my phone
but then after a second or 2 it says "unatble to read file (file name and path)"

is there any way for me to just send stuff without putting up with this bullcrap? or just to get it to "read" my file?

thanks in advance

try

yum install nautilus-sendto-bluetooth

than you should be able to send your files by right-clicking on them in nautilus, choosing send to... and then selection bluetooth obex transport or something like that should be there and you should be able to select you phone and send the files there.

EDIT: just a little more in case you are not used to the application names in Linux... nautilus is default gnome file browser... It's the one that pops out if you double-click any of the folders on your desktop (if you use gnome desktop manager - that's the one with two panels in default configuration)

Uhm... sorry... I dind't read your whole post... Well, then... if that is the case, I think you've just run into a bug... If I remember right I had similar problems in FC6, but lately it worked, as far as I remember. Try running yum update to see if it solves it...
