Back to files

Introduction

btrcv is a wrapper for gnome-obex-server and thus helps you when receiving files via bluetooth. btrcv lists the recently transferred files, with image preview and it allows you to use actions or received files, like "Open" or "Move To..."

btrcv is not useful for single files, but rather if you receive files from trused devices. When you have opted to "Always accept files from this device", you will not get any progress on received files without btrcv.

gnome-obex-server is a background process, part of gnome-bluetooth.

Installation

Dependencies are gnome-bluetooth, python2.4 and the python modules: gtk, gtk.glade, gnome.ui, gnomevfs
On Debian/Ubuntu or similar this is covered by the packages gnome-bluetooth, python-dev and python-gnome2-extras

Installation is simple, just the usual:

./configure
make
make install

or perhaps preferably, use checkinstall instead of make install.
