If you want a fancy G.U.I.  application (GTK+), I've heard good things about The
Blueman Project (net-wireless/blueman), although I've never used it  myself.   I
assume it transfers binary files with OBEX [1], conferring with the BlueZ kernel
driverset [2, 3].

$ ash-euses -so obex # shameless plug
net-wireless/bluez:obex - Enable OBEX transfer support

I'm sure you've already seen this, but you might derive value from  the  "Device
Pairing" section of the Bluetooth Gentoo Wiki page with `bluetoothctl` [4].
