Jerome is right, thats not platform-agnostic anyway, since every os has its own hal. – Oliver Friedrich Apr 16 '09 at 15:31

3Three votes to close! What if I were trying to write a script/batch-file to access files over Bluetooth? Wouldn't that be programming related? Do I have to spell it out to you chaps? – Agnel Kurian Apr 16 '09 at 16:46

There is Bluetooth Command Line Tools suite for Windows. This suite of tools contains a btftp utility that allows you to exchanges files with remote Bluetooth devices.

1The Bluetooth Command Line Tools suite is very well made, but it is freeware and not opensource. Anyone can comment about its safety? A quick scan in Windows Defender finds no treat, though. – Jacopo Tedeschi Oct 09 '22 at 16:27

In the debian package, there is bluez-utils package. It contains several command line tools as:
- hcitool: configure Bluetooth connections. e.g.
$ hcitool devwill list the devices - hciconfig: configure Bluetooth devices. Once you found a device, you can configure it.
They may exist commands for sending, receive etc... from/to Bluetooth devices.
