File Transfer Profile (FTP)
 FTP defines how folders and files on a server device can be browsed by a client device. Once a file or location is found by the client, a file can be pulled from the server to the client, or pushed from the client to the server using GOEP.
Usage Scenarios
A typical scenario would be transferring files wirelessly between two PCs or laptops, or browsing and retrieving files on a server.
Example Products
Here are a few examples of the types of devices that you might find using the FTP:
- Laptop

Getting Technical
The FTP defines two roles, that of a Client and a Server:
- Client – The Client device initiates the operation, which pushes and pulls objects to and from the Server.
- Server – The Server device is the target remote Bluetooth device that provides an object exchange server and folder browsing capability using the OBEX Folder Listing format.
