# Perform Bluetooth OPP client functions

You can verify Bluetooth OPP client functionality using the commands provided in the main menu of `obexctl`. Bluetooth OPP client functions allow you to send a file in the client role.

## Send a file in the client role

Before you begin, set up the device as described in [Set up the device for Bluetooth OPP functions](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70030-13/topic/bluez-opp.html#section-qyc-wdd-rcc-09-09-24-2148-41-416).

To send a file in the client role, do the following:

1. Connect to the remote device by running the following command from the `obexctl` menu:

connect <bt_address> <profile_name>
        Copy to clipboard

    **Parameters**

    - `<bt_address>` is the Bluetooth address of the remote device.
    - `<profile_name>` is `opp`.

    **Example**

    To connect to a remote device with `<bt_address>` `22:22:5A:A5:56:6B`, run the following command:

connect 22:22:5A:A5:56:6B opp
        Copy to clipboard

    **Sample output**

[obex]# connect 22:22:5A:A5:56:6B opp
        Attempting to connect to 22:22:5A:A5:56:6B
        [NEW] Session /org/bluez/obex/client/session1 [default]
        [NEW] ObjectPush /org/bluez/obex/client/session1
        Connection successful
        [22:22:5A:A5:56:6B]#
        Copy to clipboard
2. Create a text file at a local directory of the DUT.
3. Send this text file to the remote device by running the following command from the `obexctl` menu:

send <filepath>
        Copy to clipboard

    **Parameters**

    `<filepath>` is the filepath of the text file.

    **Example**

    To send a text file `temp.txt` at `/local/mnt/workspace/`, run the following command:

send /local/mnt/workspace/temp.txt
        Copy to clipboard

    **Sample output**

[22:22:5A:A5:56:6B]# send /local/mnt/workspace/temp.txt
        Attempting to send /local/mnt/workspace/temp.txt to /org/bluez/obex/client/session1
        [NEW] Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1
        Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1
           Status: queued
           Name: temp.txt
           Size: 36
           Filename: /local/mnt/workspace/temp.txt
           Session: /org/bluez/obex/client/session1
        [CHG] Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1 Status: complete
        [DEL] Transfer /org/bluez/obex/client/session1/transfer1
        [22:22:5A:A5:56:6B]#
        Copy to clipboard
4. On the remote device, accept the prompt to receive the file.

    The file is successfully sent to the remote device.
