+Python File Server
+------------------
+
+This package implements a simple file server that makes it possible to
+update the files on the phone faster than by sending them over OBEX.
+
+Disclaimer
+----------
+
+After connecting the phone to the PC, the PC has the power to execute
+arbitrary code and to rewrite any file on the phone. It goes without
+saying that you should connect only to targets that are known to be
+safe.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+- PyS60 installed on phone. Any version should work.
+- Cygwin version of Python 2.4 installed on the PC
+- Bluetooth connectivity on the PC
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+1. Install fileserver.py to the phone as a library, and fsgui.py as a
+script.
+
+2. Add a Bluetooth serial port to the PC. You will probably want to
+have _two_ BT serial ports available: one for the file server and one
+for the Bluetooth console.
+
+3. Edit the end of fctool so it connects to the correct serial
+port. /dev/ttyS4 == COM5, /dev/ttyS5 == COM6 etc.
+
+4. Place fileclient.py into /lib/python2.4/site-packages in your Cygwin
+environment, and fctool into your PATH.
+
+5. Start fsgui.py, and select the serial port you want to use.
+
+6. Run "fctool ping". If it says that the file server is alive, all is well.
+
+7. Write a synchronization script. An example (dosync) is included.
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The fsgui.py script will store the Bluetooth address and port in the file
+C:\system\apps\python\fileserver_conf.txt. If Python is installed on other
+drive than C: then this file is not automatically removed when Python is
+uninstalled.
