The script requires Midnight Commander 3.1+ (http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/),
-Python 2.2+ (http://www.python.org/),
-OpenOBEX 1.0.1+ (http://openobex.sourceforge.net/)

+OpenOBEX 1.0.1+ (http://openobex.sourceforge.net/) and
+ObexFTP 0.10.4+ (http://triq.net/obexftp).
Edit the script, and correct the shebang path, if your python is not in the
/usr/local. Edit the full path to the obexftp binary (see below). Put the file
in the /usr/[local/]lib/mc/extfs, and add a line "obexftp" to the
/usr/[local/]lib/mc/extfs/extfs.ini.

+
+Please note that manipulating the filesystem using your phone's internal
+filemanager in parallel with the VFS leads to disagreement between the VFS
+cache and the phone. It is not very dangerous but inconvenient. There is no
+way to clear the VFS cache in Midnight Commander and reread the filesystem.
+You have to exit the VFS (cd /, for example) and return back using cd
+transport#obexftp command. Sometimes even this doesn't help - Midnight
+Commander shows the same cached VFS image. Exit Midnight Commander and
+restart it.
+
+If something goes wrong set the logging level (see setLevel() below) to INFO
+or DEBUG and look in the obexftp-mcextfs.log file(s).
