Then you can just use a SFTP client on your computer to transfer files.

As for doing it like most phones (via OBEX BT profile), I think that's kind of a tricky one. There may be enough Linux tools out there to do it, but I would imagine that Palm is already working on it (without infrared, this is one of those notable absences on the Pre).
thanx for the info.. i'm actually trying to transfer from one phone to another.. not to a cpu.. i also don't wanna have to go through the trouble of rooting my pre.. i'm far from a whiz kid when it comes to this stuff.. that info was good to know though.. love webos internals
