I have recently tried obexftp and it simply rocks, small yet powerful tool.

Getting Started:

1> Ur need to locate ur Mobile . So first insert ur Bluetooth and run this:
# obexftp -b

U will get ur Phone's Mac add and Channel over which u will do the transfer.

2>Then run this for browsing ur phone:
#obexftp -b <mac add> -B <channel> -l

3>Once u r done upload file by this :
#obexftp -b <mac add> -B <channel> -c <phone directory> -p <file>

and Receive file via this:
#obexftp -b <mac add> -B <channel> -c <phone directory> -g <file>

4> thats all

U can do file transfer via USB,IrDA also check:
$obexftp --help
or check its manual

That's what I used for transferring files to my phone. Really nice and does the job neatly over CLI. It really makes things easy when coupled with hcitool and sdptool

^^Yep i know..

Anyways can u help in downloading multiple files in a single run .. I tried using * but this feature is not supported.
Suppose my 'Pictures' Folder contains 100 images and i want to save them all in 1 command.
