btsock

A Bluetooth socket program to transfer files from one Linux machine to another.

Usage

1. The computer that will be receiving the file will be known as the server and must be launched first.

• python3 main.py --server --serverAddress <bluetooth_address_of_server>

2. The computer that will be sending the file will be known as a client and must be launched after the server.

• python3 main.py --client --send <file_name> --address <server_address>

3. Once the file has been transferred, both programs will quit.

Known Issues

1. When using a Raspberry PI with Raspberry PI OS, the server will fail to launch.
2. Eventually, supplying the server address will be unecessary.

• Will try to find the BT address of the server controller automatically.
