Unable to Send Files or Photos From iPhone to Arch Linux Using GSConnect

[HoshiMeisa]

Describe the bug

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue where GSConnect is unable to send files or photos from my iPhone to my PC. However, all other features of GSConnect are working perfectly fine. For example, transferring files and photos from the PC to the phone, as well as running commands and remote input on the phone, all work without any issues.

I have opened TCP and UDP ports 1714-1764 on the firewall and below is my support log

GSConnect: 58 (system)
GJS:       18201
Session:   x11
OS:        Arch Linux
