Folder Browsing Service

An OBEX folder/file system is a hierarchy of folders containing other folders and objects. A client can browse and pass in and out of the file system folders to push and pull objects.

The client connects to the file browsing service by issuing a CONNECT request with a target header of {F9EC7BC4-953C-11D2-984E-525400DC9E09} to the OBEX server. File information is passed back to the client in the XML format defined in the OBEX specification. The following commands are supported:

  • Connect
  • Get
  • Put
  • SetPath

For security reasons, this service does not permit browsing outside of the tree, rooted at a directory specified in the registry, or at the default \Temp\Ftp. To the client, the base directory of the file system tree is viewed as the root.
