The bluetoothctl is used only to control your bluetooth devices , to transfer your file you should use another tools for example obexftp :
apt install obexftp
man obexftp :
obexftp is used to access files on mobile equipment, i.e. cell phones.
With obexftpd you can transfer files between any computers using IrDA,
Bluetooth and TCP/IP
To get the file
barfrom directoryfoofrom the first bluetooth device:
obexftp -b -c foo -g bar
or using the MAC_Address :
obexftp -b MAC_address -g bar
To send the file
barto directoryfoowith device on first serial port:
obexftp -t /dev/ttyS0 -c foo -p bar
Or using the MAC_Address :
obexftp -b MAC_address -p bar
Option:
-p source, --put source
-g source, --get source
-b device, --bluetooth device
-t device, --tty device

Running the commands ofobexftpdoesn't do anything. It prints that its browsing the MAC_Address Device, but cant find and connect to it. I have bluwtoothctl on and my device connected to my laptop.

Concerning receiving files, roughly the following seems to work (following the instructions on https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=146328). Yet quite unstable in my setup:
- Make sure bluetoothd is started in compatibility mode, I did this by a hacky
sudo systemctl stop bluetoothctl.service; sudo bluetoothd -C - Start obexpushd:
sudo obexpushd -d(in debug mode, so you see if something happens) - In
bluetoothctl:
- power on
- pairable on
- discoverable on
Again, this, at least in my case is not very reliable and enabling/disabling bluetooth and redoing the procedure sometimes works.

Concerning receiving files, roughly the following seems to work (following the instructions on https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=146328). Yet quite unstable in my setup:
- Make sure bluetoothd is started in compatibility mode, I did this by a hacky
sudo systemctl stop bluetoothctl.service; sudo bluetoothd -C - Start obexpushd:
sudo obexpushd -d(in debug mode, so you see if something happens) - In
bluetoothctl:
- power on
- pairable on
- discoverable on
Again, this, at least in my case is not very reliable and enabling/disabling bluetooth and redoing the procedure sometimes works.
