I tried to download all pictures I took yesterday from my Nokia 6630 phone. This is tedious as Nokia has a weird filenaming scheme: 26022006.jpg, 26022006(001).jpg, .. and since obexftp can't do filename globbing, that gets quite boring fast. But, unix to the rescue: for a in `seq 13 26` ; do ../bin/obexftp -b 00:15:A0:12:34:56 -B 12 -c 'E:/Images/' -g '26022006('`printf '%03d' $a`').jpg' ; done. And all the pictures transfer while I do something useful.
