Pairing Devices

In order for two phones or devices to communicate using Bluetooth, they must first be "paired" together. One of the devices must be put into "discoverable" mode such that the other device can find it. Once the first device is set to be "discoverable", the second device must then be told to search for "discoverable" devices within range.

After the two devices have been paired, either device will be able to send files over Bluetooth to the other using FX. Don't worry about which phone/device is set to discoverable and which will search for bluetooth devices, it simply does not matter.

Pairing Devices with FX

First, make sure the full-version of FX is installed on both devices. Follow the directions below by performing one of these actions on the first device and the other on the second device:

Sending Files

To send files via Bluetooth, first navigate to the directory containing the files. Select one or more files to send via Bluetooth, tap the "File" menu. and select "Send". Select the first "Bluetooth" option under the heading "Send directly using." Then select a target device to receive the file.

Wi-Fi Accelerator

The Wi-Fi Accelerator feature enables you to use Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth for data transfers between phones and devices. To use this feature, both phones/devices must be running FX and both must be currently connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Bluetooth FTP

To browse files on remote computers using Bluetooth FTP, open the "Bluetooth" catalog from the Home screen of FX. Tap the name of the paired computer and then tap "Browse Files". Note that the target computer may then require you to approve the connection before it allows access.
