How do I access files on another device/machine over Bluetooth from the command line?

To interact with bluetoothd from the terminal, we use the bluetoothctl command. Using bluetoothctl by itself will open the interactive shell. This is called interactive mode and is where we can run commands to configure our Bluetooth settings.
Sometimes the Bluetooth service may not start properly when your computer is booting. In this case, use Windows command prompt: Type cmd in the Windows search bar and press the [Enter] key. In the window that opens, enter the command net start "bthserv” and press the [Enter] key to confirm.
Open the Activities overview and start typing Bluetooth. Click on Bluetooth to open the panel. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled: the switch at the top should be set to on. With the panel open and the switch on, your computer will begin searching for devices.
There is Bluetooth Command Line Tools suite for Windows. This suite of tools contains a btftp utility that allows you to exchanges files with remote Bluetooth devices.
