Already installed, thanks.

This is debian stable. current version is obexftp 0.10.7 and no
ussp-push in apt-cache. Does this mean that obexftp in debian stable
is nonfunctional?

No, thanks.

This worked. also inq. But it took some time for me to find out that I
have to make the celphone announce itself first.

Here, -HSU are invalid options to obexftp. I will assume (unless told
otherwise) the obexftp version in debian stable to be badly broken, as
the pairing was correctly intiated (as shown in daemon.log) but not
answered. At the contrary it caused the celphone to reboot (!).
Thank's for the help. I'll search for a backport or try to compile the
newer version my self.
