Hi James You should be able to do that just using the built in tools with the OS. Once you pair your phone using bluetooth you will be able to browse your phone and download files from it? I believe that was the same with 10.4.11 but no longer have that version to check. Regards

Jon, use WPA2 security settings on your Airport Extreme. Use a strong password (8 characters or more, no dictionary words and use numbers/punctuation). You'll be fine then. WEP security has known vulnerabilities, so if you happen to be using it and someone wants to put the time in to downloading
