The simplest, fastest way to send a file from your computer using Bluetooth!

Got Bluetooth?

Do you ever send files from your computer using Bluetooth?

By the time you choose your file, select a paired device and send your file, it seems like a lot of clicks, doesn't it?

Would you use it more if you knew a fast, simple way of sending files with Bluetooth?

Here's your solution!

fsqirt.exe

Fsqirt.exe is a stock Microsoft application that lives in the C:\Windows\System32 directory and, its only job is to send files to paired Bluetooth devices.

When you have a shortcut to fsqirt.exe on your Desktop, Taskbar, Project Folder, etc...

All you have to do is drag and drop any file you want to share onto the shortcut!

A really basic UI will appear asking you to choose a device.

After you choose your Bluetooth device, select "Next" and you're done!

Using the Code

Using this application from the command line couldn't get much easier!

Just type "fsqirt" and add the file you want to send!

fsqirt C:\path\to\file\you\are\sending

That's all there is to it!

Thanks for reading!
