This feature shares most of the code with printer forwarding.
This is not meant to replace a network filesystem, it is only there to facilitate the transfer of individual files between the client and server.
For more details, see #494 and #1026.
Assuming that file-transfers are enabled (which is the default - see configuration options below), the client can send files to the server using the system tray upload menu:
The server can send files to the client using: * the
xpra send-file
subcommand * the dbus interface: #904 * the xpra
control interface, ie:
xpra control :10 send-file /path/to/the-file-to-send
To send to a specific client:
xpra control :10 send-file /path/to/the-file-to-send open CLIENT_UUID
The client UUID can be seen with: xpra info | grep uuid
. To
send to all the clients, replace use “*“. (quoted to prevent shell
expansion)
Depending on the client configuration, the open
flag may
not be honoured by the client.
