You can do so by using the Bluetooth File Exchange program, located in /Applications/Utilities. But it's also a good idea to run the Bluetooth Setup assistant (same location) before doing so. Then enable the Bluetooth menu so you can do it more easily in the future (then you only have to click on the Bluetooth icon next to the clock in your main menubar, then choose Send file...)

To do all of this in one place, open the Bluetooth pane in your System preferences, then, in the Settings tab, select the "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" checkbox, then switch to the Devices tab, then click on the "Set up new device" button (if you have not done so yet). You can then use the Send file... option in the menu, as told before.

As for the subsequent posters,

I don't know how.

I'm helpful!

I think you should refrain from posting replies like this, you're not the police and it's not nice to mock newcomer, even if they didn't post in the right forum. Is it that hard to be polite once in your life and to leave your sarcasm at home or elsewhere?

The correct way of replying is to 1° reply 2° end by telling the user to use the right forum next time. Everyone has the right to make some mistake..

Seriously, this was an ambiguous question as to know where it should be posted. It's really a peripheral question, but it could have been appropriate in the Mac OS X forum too, as it questions a function of the said OS. Technologies like this (as well as FireWire, for example) should belong in a new, separate forum.

Methinks you read way too much into their posts.

They both answered the question to the best of their ability.

Tudoer merely suggested (quite gently I might add) that this was the appropriate subforum in which to ask.

on taking it upon yourself to repost the question however.

Maybe I got their posts wrong, but I sensed a little sarcastic tone, as if they weren't answering on purpose because the original poster didn't post in the right forum.
