Bluetooth file transfer fails on fedora-44

Ask Fedora
1

Hello,

I can’t send file via Bluetooth from my pc to phone via terminal but I can recieve. What can I do?

For receiving, I used the command

ebube@fedora:~$ bt-obex -s ~/bluetooth/

Then I sent file from my phone and accepted with a ‘y’ on my terminal.

Sending file fails:

ebube@fedora:~$ bt-obex -p A4:E2:87:3D:F3:C9 /home/ebube/commands 
[Transfer#commands] Waiting...
[Transfer#commands] Failed

ebube@fedora:~$

I just wiped out Windows to install Fedora 44 on my 64 bit machine. And I have updated all the packages using dnf upgrade command.

Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-44

It is my first Fedora Distro installation but I have been working with Ubuntu using Vagrant VM while on Windows.

You give us no info about the phone, but with my android phone file transfers from the phone to the PC work perfectly. Transfers the other way are problematic since android blocks writing to the device unless you make special config changes.

If you simply want to send files back and forth look at “Local Send”:

Should be a lot faster.

That must be the problem, because I effortlessly received files from my android version 13 phone

Okay, thank you. However, I am practicing a terminal first workflow to get used to the terminal.
