Hi, Luiz,
Thank you for your reply. I just started to study BlueZ. After receiving
your reply, I reread the code and tested it again with Ubuntu.

First of all, I think this is really a bug. Transfer small file from a
Windows 10 computer to a Linux computer with a graphical interface via
Bluetooth. After the transfer, the file cannot be found in the ~/Downloads
directory of the Linux computer, but the Linux computer has a prompt that
the file is in the ~/Downloads directory.

The cache directory is "~/Cache/obexd". In my test, Authorizepush always
returns this directory; The user specified directory refers to the
directory specified by the user on the graphical interface, for example,
in ubuntu, Setting - Bluetooth, there will be a prompt "transferred files
are placed in the XXXX folder", default is "~/Downloads", You can change it
to another directory here. obexd stores the received files in the cached
directory, and after transfer completed, the upper-level program mv files
to user specified directory.

I first debug this problem on UOS(a linux distribution), the upper-level
application starts to request the filename after receiving the active
signal, so there must be this problem.
In ubuntu, first of all i found that it is very difficult to transfer
files from windows to ubuntu, because AuthorizePush always returns
forbidden directly. After installed blueman, it is possible to transfer
files.
I found that ubuntu calls the dbus method to request the name after
cmd_connect, so that the session->name, that is, the filename, is obtained
in the place you mentioned above, and there is no path. But in my test,
ubuntu does not mv the small file to the ~/Downloads directory in most cases,
and it will be fine after applying my patch. I don't understand the
upper-level program of ubuntu. I suspect it is related to the active signal?

"~/.cache/obexd" and agent are normal.

This patch won't have the security issues you mentioned, because the added
signals are all after AuthorizePush returns successfully. My test is that
before AuthorizePush returns or returns fail, no signal will be emitted and
file transfer will not start.
The method is used to request the file name and path. What I mean here is
that for the upper-level program, if there is a Filename in the dbus signal,
use this value, otherwise, call the dbus method to get it as before. In ubuntu
(without this patch), the file name is obtained before AuthorizePush returns.
