    Is there a way to automate the process for the file?   Something like a Batch file that would automate the activation and transfer of the file?

    If there is what commands would you use to activate the Bluetooth routine?

    One other background point.

    The "fsquirt.exe" thing you will see running in Task Manager,
    that is a response to using "Send To --> Bluetooth" in
    a context menu.

    It's basically a kind of FTP transfer. You start the FTP server
    on the receiving end running, so the receiver is ready for it.
    The FTP server is not left "running" all the time, and is
    only running until the transfer is completed.

    The receiving end is started graphically, by accessing the Bluetooth
    icon in the tray area, and selecting a Receive function in there.

    And as far as I know, none of this works without Pairing.

    There is also a tick box for Authentication, but I don't
    know the logic tree for that.

    Using fsquirt -receive (on the Receiving end) and using
    fsquirt -send (On the Transmitting end), are the command
    line equivalents, of the GUI functions described above.

    *******

    Other than that, maybe some kind of syncing software
    could be used for passing a file on a regular basis.
