I find the various GUI bluetooth tools in jessie to be quite buggy. When you have established a connection between the phone and your computer, open a terminal and cd to /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs/. From there you should be able to see the mount point of the device and move or copy files as required. -- Liam
