# OBEX Push Server: Receive files

Most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones or PDAs will let you send files from the mobile to your computer. While it might be more comfortable to use the OBEX FTP tdeioslave to pull the files from your phone to your computer, not all devices support this. OBEX Object push on the other hand is supported by most Bluetooth devices.

## Using the OBEX Push server

The OBEX Push server is managed by kbluetoothd and will be automatically started if it is enabled and someone tries to send you some files. Please see the documentation of kbluetoothd for how to enable or disable services (The OBEX Push server is listed as `kbtobexsrv`).

When you send a file from your mobile to your computer, the kbluetoothd tray icon will turn blue and shows a small popup. By default (depending on your settings for incoming connections) you will have to accept the connection first, then the main OBEX Push window should pop up and start receiving the files.

Incoming files are saved to `/tmp` and will be deleted after you closed the OBEX Push server. To save to files, you have two options:

- Click OK to save all received files to a predefined location.

- Drag one or several files to some other location. This is especially useful if you want to send files by email, since you can drag the files directly into kmail without saving them to temporary location first.
