here 1.tx is the transaction file which would be created in the current directory and you need to upload at the receiver and 10 is the amount of grin you are sending.
2. Once you uploaded the transaction file then you would get the response file from the receiver download it in current directory and then
grin wallet finalize -i 1.tx.response
This will post the translation to listening grin node and transaction would be confirmed within some time.
via Listening Mode
3. You can also send Grin via http:// method or via listener mode type

Grin Wallet Receive Funds via File Method
When you receive the transaction file then type in terminal
grin wallet receive -i <transation file name>
mine was “tx-89b89559-967b-4b11-af4e-9c6501764a09.json”
so I had type grin wallet receive -i tx-89b89559-967b-4b11-af4e-9c6501764a09.json
here “tx-89b89559-967b-4b11-af4e-9c6501764a09.json” name of transaction file which I had received. after this you can find the response file “tx-89b89559-967b-4b11-af4e-9c6501764a09.json.response” in the same directory upload it at source and finalize the transaction. ant then you would receive funds in your account.
