ProximitySenderDemo works but can't get BlueToothFTPClientDemo to work

[miguelhughes]

Hi! I'm developing an application that works similarly to the Proximity Sender Demo, but has a bit more logic and control on how and to who files are sent. So I started looking into the BT ftp client demo. For now I'm testing sending files to a netbook. The proximity sender worked just fine, but I can't get the ftp client to work, it discovers the netbook fine, but when I click on connect, after about 20 seconds I get "Can't connect: 2", which seems a driver error.

Can this be caused by my drivers, or my configuration? Any recommendations as to how to get it to work?

Here are my specs:

• windows 7 home Premium
• Visual studio 2008 (.net 3.5) & c#
• Hardware: External Dongle, borrowed, windows recongized it as Made by CSR
• Stack: the default one that comes with windows

Thanks in advance

Hello,

ProximitySender uses OPPClient. It looks like your target device doesn't support BT FTP service, but supports BT OPP Service.

Oh, I see, that makes sense! Thanks for your reply. I tried BluetoothOPPClientDemo and it worked like a charm.

Is it safe to say that this service is more widely spread than the ftp one?

Yes
