Help

On some operating systems, you may need to manually open port 37789 to enable device discovery and file reception.

Known operating systems that need manual port opening

  1. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed connected to mobile Hotspot network.

     sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=37789/tcp
     sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=37789/udp
    

    or manually search for firewall in your application menu and open the port 37789.

Even with restrictive firewall rules, the app can still discover other devices and exchange files — as long as the other device allows incoming connections.
