Verify the status of file reception on the remote application. ## Receive a file in server role Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-13/topic/perform_bluetooth_functions_in_spp_server.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-13/topic/perform_bluetooth_functions_in_spp_server.html) ### About this task To receive a file in the server role, do the following: ### Procedure 1. Set the DUT in receive mode. 2. Receive a file from the remote device by running the following command: recv_file Copy to clipboard Where, `` is the complete file path with the filename. Note: To receive a file, use the /etc/bluetooth directory only. For example, to receive fileName.txt at /etc/bluetooth from the remote device, run the following command: recv_file /etc/bluetooth/fileName.txtCopy to clipboard 3. Send the file from the remote device SPP server application. 4. Verify the received file as follows: 1. Open the Command Prompt window. 2. Pull the received file by running the following command: scp -r root@: Copy to clipboard To pull a file to the current file path, enter the `` as `.` in the command. For example, the IP address of the device is `10.92.160.222`. To pull fileName.txt from /etc/bluetooth, run the following command: scp -r root@10.92.160.222:/etc/bluetooth/fileName.txt .Copy to clipboard Note: When prompted for a password, enter `oelinux123` to authenticate the file transfer via Secure Copy Protocol (SCP). 3. Open the received file and verify the data. 5. Disconnect operation from the remote device SPP client application, and stop the SPP server in DUT by running the following command: stop_serverCopy to clipboard Note: All devices of a particular development kit have the same default MAC address.
