Hi,
I had a similiar issue recently using obexftp and a Motorola V535. The
problem turned out to be that I needed a passkey manager running
during the authentication phase.
The very ugly solution I contrived consisted into compiling the source
of the passkey-agent included in /usr/share/doc/bluez-utils/examples,
then running it like:
passkey-agent 1234 <bluetooth phone address>
the phone should accept in this case the bluetooth passkey, then test
it with:
obexftp -b <bluetooth phone address> -l
Documentation is very scarce and the various guides/tutorial I checked
are rather inconsistent, so I think there is a better solution, maybe
someone can enlighten us about the use of the passkey-agent (and where
to find an already compiled version).
HTH, regards.
