Using Settings->Connections->Bluetooth's FTP tab is how I used to tell FTP where my shared folder is on the phone. I set this to the storage card so I can move files much large than would fit into the internal \My Documents.

It seems everything is there except the actual FTP client and Samsung used to supply ObexFTP as an installed client on the i760 I had previously.

My guess is they stopped bundling it but I believe it's open source or, as you suggested, seek other 3rd party FTP clients. I'll surf around...

Dopey me! I use Total Commander for the same things as Rescoe. Sure enough it looks like it does FTP so I'll start there. I should have know as I use the PC version of TC as my main FTP client there. Sometimes, can't see the forest for the trees!
