File Transfer

Overview
The Bluetooth File Transfer application allows this computer to perform file operations on
the Bluetooth Exchange Folder (and the folders and files it contains) of a remote device.
Copy to/from a remote device
In the Folders pane of Windows Explorer, from the Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood branch,
select a device and expand that branch to view the Bluetooth Exchange Folder of the

remote file operations.
Use drag-and-drop to copy any file or folder contained in the Public Folder of the remote
