= File Transfers =

This feature shares most of the code with [/wiki/Printing].

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.
}}}


{{{#!div class="box"
= Usage =

Assuming that file-transfers are enabled (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 (starting with version 4, see #2518)
* the dbus interface: #904
* the xpra control interface, ie:
{{{
xpra control :10 send-file /path/to/the-file-to-send
}}}
Or 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)

The "open" flag may not be honoured by the client.

----

To debug this feature, use the flag {{{-d file}}}.
}}}

{{{#!div class="box"
= Configuration Options =

* {{{file-transfer}}} enables or disables all file transfers
* {{{file-size-limit}}} the maximum size (in MB) for file transfers
* {{{open-files}}} allows files to be opened after being received - which may be a security risk
* {{{open-command}}} the command to use for opening files
}}}
