Whenever someone tries to send me a file it says I cancelled.File transfers to the google client will not currently work because they use a different file transfer method than what Pidgin currently supports.What about between 2 pidgin clients? This is the case here. (Just managed to get a friend off msn messenger onto pidgin).This would work if you were connected directly to the internet, had external inbound ports mapped to your machine or had a working file transfer proxy specified (this needs to be done manually because the google servers don't provide one). The previous default manual file transfer proxy (proxy.jabber.org) doesn't work, you can try "proxy.eu.jabber.org".
I have set up my router to forward port 8010 to my laptop and set up pidgin to listen to that port. I also put in a stun server and it now shows my external IP address. I'm just waiting for him to come back online at the moment so we can test. I did try using the proxy.eu.jabber.org server yesterday but it didn't seem to work either.
In 2.6.0, when in-band transfers work, this scenario should work out of the box (granted it will be slow because the transfer will go through the servers).
I take it that irc file transfers will be direct. Are there any other protocols that pidgin can do direct transfers with, rather that going through a server? Thanks for your help so far by the way. Appreciated.
