According to the documentation, you should be able to https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/46BD-6BA8-B012-CE43. Unfortunately, I don’t have big enough games to test, and I think it detects that my internet bandwith is higher than the connection to the Deck
A Steam Deck, or a PC running in Steam desktop mode can host network transfers. PCs in Big Picture mode, and custom launchers can’t transfer their files out over the local network.
But is it “(A Steam Deck), or (a PC running in Steam desktop mode)” or is it “(A Steam Deck, or a PC) (running in Steam desktop mode)”? In any case both cases include the Steam Deck as a capable device, it would only be a matter of changing to desktop mode
My router is a bit old and its 5GHz performance seems to be rather lacking. I still think the main problem is I’m not testing with a big game. I’ll try and post later something.
You can’t transfer games from the deck, unfortunately.
At least not last time I tried.

Looks like it only works from desktop mode

Is it really? That’s pretty shocking, is your gaming device is hardlined while the Deck is on WiFi or something? Are you on 2.4 or 5ghz, on the Deck?

This seems to be implemented in the Steam Deck client update from November 16th
Haven’t tried it myself though.
It works, but deck needs to be on. I just pulled a Grim Dawn install from my deck to my desktop PC on Tuesday.
Why I’m just doing a straight swap by throwing my current deck SSD into the new one XD
