Sending Files from an Ubuntu PC to Another Device
The easiest way to send files from your PC to a Bluetooth device is to create a desktop shortcut onto which you can drag and drop files. Follow these steps to create the shortcut:
- Right-click the desktop, and click Create Launcher.
- In the Name field, type something like “Send file via Bluetooth”.
- In the Command field, type “gnome-obex-send”.
- You can also choose to give the new shortcut an appropriate icon. Click the No Icon button, and then type the following into the Path field: /usr/share/icons/gnome/48×48/stock/io/stock_bluetooth.png
- Click OK.
After you’ve created the icon, you can send files as follows:
- Drag and drop a file onto the launcher (icon) you just created.
- The Choose Bluetooth Device dialog box appears. Click Refresh to make the computer detect any nearby Bluetooth devices. This may take a minute or two. Remember that your device will need to be set to be “visible,” so that other Bluetooth devices can automatically detect it.
- Select the device to which you want to transfer the file, and then click OK.
- Check the device to see if the file transfer needs to be authorized. If the devices are paired, the transfer might take place automatically.
