Sharing files between Ubuntu Linux and SonyEricsson M600i

The easiest is to use M600i USB cable. Ubuntu detects it automatically as usbmedia drive and is mounted as /media/usbmedia.

But there is a catcha - no files are copied to M2 memory card before running ’sync’ from command line or unmounting the /media/usbmedia.

Simple bluetooth file sending and receiving works also. I followed this guide for P900. Additionally I installed GnomeBluetooth that allows to send files from Nautilus (select file and select Send To… from context menu) and also receive files from M600i (start Accessories->Bluetooth File Sharing).

For sending files from command line ussp-push tool is usable:

ussp-push 00:11:22:33:44:55@3 file2send sendAs

eg.

ussp-push 00:11:22:33:44:55@3 tuxcase.jpg tuxcase.jpg

where 00:11:22:33:44:55 is your mobile MAC address (can be found out using ‘hcitool scan’ command).

For bluetooth I used Hama bt dongle.
I believe that those methods also work for SE P990i and W950i

Edit: Its also possible to mount SE memory over bluetooth using obexfs (obexftp tool worked, but I didn’t try obexfs yet)

    Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) has gnome-vfs-obexftp package.

    After installing just open File Browser and set “obex://” as location. After pairing you should see contents of your phone.

    For more info about gnome-vfs-obexftp see /usr/share/doc/gnome-vfs-obexftp/README.
