Problems with bluetooth passwords

Hello,
I've a problem with transferring files with this command:

obexftp -b -p <file>

I get this error:

Connecting…failed: connect
The user may have rejected the transfer: Connection refused

According to this site: http://gaouz.co.cc/site/2008/05/20/blue … son-k608i/ I need to run passkey-agent, but then I found out in archlinux bugs repository http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12851 that this has been suspended for bluez 4.x. So my question is what should I do now to avoid this error?

Re: Problems with bluetooth passwords

You can use the python script simple-agent you find in the source tarball of bluez on http://www.bluez.org/. Unpack and change to the subdirectory test/ and run as root:

./simple-agent hci0 <device>

Or modify the bluez package to include the script as suggested in the bug report.
