The gnome-vfs directory in gnome-bluetooth was to list the devices, not
for obex-ftp.

I have an unfinished gnome-vfs ObexFTP version which I could make
available. It uses the obexftp library, and openobex. It lists files
correctly, and can copy files, but you can't get two listings with the
same connection for some reason. I guess it's a bug in the underlying
libraries.

Nokia have also made one for the Nokia 770, but it's still not
available.

Cheers
