When the application starts, you can use the connect menu option to connect to a Bluetooth device in the vicinity. A list of Bluetooth devices will be displayed in a dialog box during the connection process and you can choose the one that you want to perform FTP operations on. After the connection is established, you can use the send file option to send a file to the connected Bluetooth device. You can terminate the session using the disconnect menu option.

Sample code for ObexTool is provided in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Servers\SDK\Samples\OBEX\FileBrowser. To view the OBEX sample; install Platform Builder and then build a sample OS design that includes OBEX.
