I’m running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

EddoWagt ( @EddoWagt@feddit.nl ) 4•14 days agoKDE connect has not always worked reliably for this in my experience. Not sure why, but sometimes files just don’t transfer
Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English1•13 days agoI usually have a lot of troubles with KDE Connect no matter what device I’m using. Could be running windows 10 or Linux. I also sometimes have the files not transferring problem and even have had plenty of problems getting it to connect to devices that are in the same room on the same network. It’s infuriating and makes me wonder why I even use it.

Simon Weiss ( @simonweiss@lemmy.ml ) English5•14 days agoIf by wirelessly you mean via Wi-Fi network then one convenient option is qrcp. It generates a QR-code right in your terminal, which you can scan with a phone and send/receive files through a web interface on the URL it provides.
If you want to transfer files regularly, there is another option. Almost every distro has Python installed, and the Python has a “built-in” FTP server. You need to just
cd
into desired directory and run the commandpython -m pyftpdlib -w
. It will open a FTP server with root in this directory. You then can access it through a file manager, like Material Files for example, and send files and folders back and forth. In Material Files you can save the server address for future use. Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English1•13 days agoPython having a built-in FTP server is amazing. Definitely gonna have to save your comment and try that.
Simon Weiss ( @simonweiss@lemmy.ml ) English2•10 days agoYeah, actually it also has a HTTP server, in case you need to transfer something big one way and don’t want to bother with FTP connection
Dizzy Devil Ducky ( @AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ) English3•13 days agoI’ve heard plenty of other people have had a better time with it than I have, but I like to use KDE Connect for some reason that I’ll never understand. That, and Wormhole, through flatpak since I suck at installing through source.

dbx12 ( @dbx12@programming.dev ) 1•13 days agoFor the occasional transfer I use Bluetooth or a plain USB cable. Call me old fashioned.
christopher ( @christopher@programming.dev ) 1•12 days agoI drop files I want to share in
~/public_html/files/
as I have a webserver running on my desktop with the firewall open to the local network. Might be tough for a noob to setup though. But on my phone the file shows up in/~christopher/files/
and I have trouble remembering how to type the tilde.
