The main goal of this project is to make mobile devices that feature the OBEX protocol and that adhere to the OBEX FTP standard accessible using an open source implementation.
ObexFTP is a library bundling everything needed for OBEX transfers and exposing it via a simple interface. Quite a number of language bindings are provided using SWIG or other means. There is a sample command line client “obexftp” and a server “obexftpd” included. Besides FTP the ObexFTP library provides access to the PUSH, GOEP and SYNCH services.
ObexFTP works out-of-the-box with all transports supported by OpenOBEX. Currently there is IrDA, Bluetooth, USB and network (TCP) transport support. ObexFTP also comes with ready to use custom transport support for many mobile phones serial cables.
This is free and open source software which runs on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD and Win32.
