NAME

Net::OBEX::FTP - implementation of OBEX File Transfer Profile

SYNOPSIS

This is an OBEX FTP mirrorer, you can also find it in the examples/ directory of this distribution:

    use strict;
    use warnings;

    use Net::OBEX::FTP;
    use File::Spec;

    my $obex = Net::OBEX::FTP->new;

    my $response = $obex->connect( address => '00:17:E3:37:76:BB', port => 9 )
        or die "Error: " . $obex->error;

    print "Mirroring root folder\n";

    mirror_file( $obex, $_ )
        for @{ $obex->files };

    mirror( $obex );

    sub mirror {
        my $obex = shift;

        for my $folder ( @{ $obex->folders } ) {
            print "Mirroring `$folder`\n";

            $response = $obex->cwd( path => $folder )
                or die "Error: " . $obex->error;

            my $local_folder = File::Spec->catdir( @{ $obex->pwd } );
            mkdir $local_folder
                or die "Failed to create directory `$local_folder` ($!)";

            if ( @{ $obex->folders } ) {
                mirror( $obex );
            }

            mirror_file( $obex, $_ )
                for @{ $obex->files };

DESCRIPTION

WARNING!!! This module is still in early alpha stage. It is recommended that you use it only for testing.

The module is an implementation of OBEX File Transfer Profile.

CONSTRUCTOR

new my $obex = Net::OBEX::FTP->new;

Takes no arguments, returns a freshly baked Net::OBEX::FTP object.

METHODS

connect

    my $response_ref = $obex->connect(
        address => '00:17:E3:37:76:BB', # mandatory
        port    => 9,                   # mandatory
        mtu     => 4096,                # optional
        version => "\x10",              # optional
    ) or die "Error: " . $obex->error;

Instructs the object to connect to the device with MAC address address to port port (OBEX FTP port). The call to this method also retrieves folder listing of the root folder. Takes several arguments which are as follows:

address

    ->connect( address => '00:17:E3:37:76:BB' ...

Mandatory. Takes a scalar as an value which is the address of the device to connect to.

port

    ->connect( port => 9 ...

Mandatory. Takes a scalar as an value which is the OBEX FTP port of the device you are trying to connect to.

mtu

    ->connect( mtu => 4096 ...

Optional. Takes a scalar as a value which is your MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), in other words, the maximum packet size in bytes you can accept. Defaults to: 4096

version

    ->connect( version => "\x10" ..

Optional. Takes a one byte value which specifies the version of OBEX protocol to use for conversation. This argument is provided as "just in case" and you really shouldn't use it. Defaults to: 0x10 (version 1.0)

connect RETURN VALUE

    $VAR1 = {
            'connect' => {
                # return of Net::OBEX->get here
            },
            'set_path' => {
                # return of Net::OBEX->set_path here
            },
            'get' => {
                # return of Net::OBEX->get here
            },
    };

The connect() method will return either undef or an empty list (depending on the context) if an error occurred an the description of the error will be available via error() method. Upon success, connect() returns a hashref with three keys.

connect

The connect key will contain the return value of Net::OBEX connect() method.

set_path

The get key will contain the return value of Net::OBEX set_path() method.

get

The get key will contain the return value of Net::OBEX get() method.

cwd

    $obex->cwd
        or die $obex->error;

    $obex->cwd('foos')
        or die $obex->error;

    $obex->cwd( do_up => 1 )
        or die $obex->error;

Instructs the object to change the current working directory and fetch the folder listing. Takes zero, one or a set of key/value arguments. When called without arguments will set path to the root folder. Calling with only one argument is equivalent to calling ( path = 'foos')> with 'foos' being your argument. The key/value form arguments will be passed directly to Net::OBEX set_path() method. See documentation for Net::OBEX for details.

If an error occurred, the cwd() method will return either undef or an empty list depending on the context. Upon success it will return a hashref with two keys, set_path and get. The set_path key will contain the return value of Net::OBEX set_path() method and get key will contain the return value of Net::OBEX get() method. See documentation for Net::OBEX for more information.

Note: The OBEX spec suggests that it's possible to do cd ../foos in one call, e.g. cwd( path = 'foos', do_up => 1 )>; the OBEX FTP spec is unclear about this. The only OBEX FTP capable device I have (Motorolla KRZR phone) gives me 403 when I try to do it this way. If you have some different device can you please please please confirm whether it works for you or not. Thank you.

get

    $obex->get('file.jpg')
        or die $obex->error;

    $obex->get('file.jpg', $file_handle)
        or die $obex->error;

Instructs the object to download a file. Takes one mandatory and one optional arguments. The first argument (mandatory) is the name of the file to download, unless you specify the second argument the content of the file will be returned as a value of body key in the hashref the get() method returns. The second argument (optional) is an opened for writing filehandle, if you specify this argument the file will be written into that filehandle, use this if you are transferring large files as to not store them in the memory.

If an error occurred will return either undef or an empty list depending on the context and the reason for the error will be available via error() method. Upon success will return a hashref which is exactly the same as the return value of Net::OBEX get() method. See documentation for Net::OBEX for more information.

close

    $obex->close;

Takes no arguments and always returns 1. Closes the connection.

pwd

    my $pwd = join '/', @{ $obex->pwd };

Takes no arguments, returns an arrayref, each element of which will be a directory name representing a level at which we are in. In other words, doing cwd('foos') ... cwd('bars') ... cwd('beers') ... cwd(do_up = 1)> will make pwd() return [ 'foos', 'bars' ]. When we are in the root folder, pwd() will return an empty arrayref.

folders

    my $folders_in_the_current_dir_ref = $obex->folders;

As mentioned before, cwd() and connect() methods fetch folder listings. The folders() method returns an arrayref, elements of which are the names of the folders in the current working directory. If no folders are present folders() method will return an empty arrayref.

files

    my $files_in_the_current_dir = $obex->files;

Same as folders() methods, except it lists the files in the current directory.

xml

    my $xml_object = $obex->xml;

If folders() and files() is not enough for you feel free to use the XML::OBEXFTP::FolderListing object which is provided to you via xml() method. Takes no arguments, returns XML::OBEXFTP::FolderListing object used by the module. See XML::OBEXFTP::FolderListing for more information.

obex

    my $net_obex_obj = $obex->obex;

Takes no arguments, returns a Net::OBEX object used by the module.

response

    my $last_response = $obex->response;

Takes no arguments, returns the return value of the last successful call to either connect(), get() or cwd() method.

error

    $obex->cwd
        or die "Error: " . $obex->error;

Takes no arguments, returns a human readable error message explaining why get(), connect() or cwd() might have failed.
