The File Transfer service allows one Bluetooth device to perform file operations on the
default File Transfer directory (and the folders and files it contains) of another Bluetooth
device.
To perform an operation on a folder or file
On the machine from which the File Transfer service will be used:
1. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, select Entire Bluetooth
Neighborhood.
2. In the right pane of Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood, right-click anywhere
except
on a device name
and select Refresh from the pop-up menu.
3. In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Places, right-click the device you want to
transfer files with and select Discover Available Services from the pop-up menu
to update the available services list. The available services will be displayed in
the right pane of My Bluetooth Places.

of Public Folder to expand that folder. If there are additional folders inside the
expanded folder then those additional folders may have to be expanded.
Folder contents are displayed in the right pane of My Bluetooth Places.
