http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey guys. I'm trying to send a huge file from my Ubuntu 12.04 netbook to a Windows Vista laptop via bluetooth. The file in question is a 4.5gb .iso and I don't have a pendrive or any other external gadget big enough to fit it in. Neither do I have a CD drive on my netbook. I did think about just re-downloading it, but that would take forever - that would be my last option if I can't pull this off. So, I thought about sending it through bluetooth. Both bluetooth devices are working and recognize each other, but when the file sending pop-up window appears, after choosing the Bluetoot (Hardware)
