File Transfer Settings
The profile OBEX File Transfer is used for transferring files. In the File Transfer Settings dialog box, you can view or edit the location of the physical My Shared Files folder. Furthermore, you can make decisions concerning the security aspects of remote users’ access to the files in “My Shared Files”.
To open the File Transfer Settings dialog box:
- On the Bluetooth menu, point to Profile Properties, and click OBEX File Transfer.

- Shared Files Folder: By default, this folder is placed in My Documents in a folder named Bluetooth. However, you can move it to any location you want. To browse for a different location, click the “…” button.
- Security: From this item you can make settings regarding which kind of access remote users will have to your local My Shared Files folder, i.e. whether they will be allowed to read, edit, and delete the contents of the folder. You can choose among:
–Read only access; or
–Read and write access; or
–Read, write, and delete access.
Furthermore, if you select “Remote users are required to be authenticated …”, remote users will have to enter a password before they can access your shared files. In the field at the bottom of the dialog box, you can type the password you require remote users to enter.
