If you set up Bluetooth networking and can ssh into the tablet, then yes. (Personally, I haven't managed that.

You could connect both the Nokia and the laptop to the hotel network and use rsync. If manually figuring out IP addresses is too much pain (it is for me), you could set up Avahi to have DNS autodiscovery: http://thpmaemo.blogspot.com/2008/11/get-avahi-working-on-maemo.html > My > new laptop has Bluetooth which works nicely but only from a GUI - on the > tablet I must move things into ~/MyDocs/ or /media/mmc* to find them, and > I have to always send not upload/download. > > (actually, I wonder why the BT implementation on Linux needed to reinvent > the wheel, and could not just appear as another transport layer like Ethernet > or FDDI. Then scp/ssh/smb etc. would just work.) That's not how Bluetooth works. Only one of the Bluetooth profiles is usable for IP networking, and, AFAIU, once you got that set up, that's exactly what you get. Marius Gedminas -- I am a computer.
