Sending files to a smartphone by bluetooth?

Oxensepp · December 2, 2025, 11:22pm

hello,

i have a fairphone 4 with /e/OS 3.2-a1420251022539005-official-FP4.

I connected it by bluetooth with my linux PC. Basically, it works. From the PC’s view, the fairphone is paired, trusted and connected.

I can send files from the fairphone to the PC.

But the opposite direction does not work. If I try sending a file (using “blueman-manager”) to the fairphone, I get an error message.

What’s missing there? Any suggestions, how to transfer files from PC to phone by bluetooth?

are you insisting on bluetooth out of curiosity? because there really are easier solutions just on wifi: localsend
