There is no official support provided by NOKIA for linux, so we dont have any Nokia PC Suite for it.. To transfer files on LINUX, u need to install 2 packages… I assume u r using ubuntu…

$sudo apt-get install obexfs obexftp

Actually obex protocol is used to communicate with phones.. So, what i am going to do is that i will mount the phone using obex file system support provided by installed package…

So, make a folder, lets say .. /mnt/nokia Lets say i am using USB cable…

$sudo obexfs -u 1 /mnt/nokia $sudo nautilus

This will open the file browser windows and now u can transfer the files graphically…

To unmount the phone, type in terminal…

$sudo umount /mnt/nokia….
