I'm trying to get file transfer to work through the PyMSNt service, but have not been successful, and am requesting some enlightenment.
Setup: servers: several jabberd (1.4.4); one server has PyMSNt-0.11a & Internet access. clients: have used any of [gaim, psi, jeti, spark] os: Fedora[1,3] What works: Can send jabber msgs among all clients and to/from MS/hotmail.com. Can send file transfer in-band using Jeti among my clients. Can send file transfer via port 8010 using Psi among my clients. What does not work: File transfer to/from MS/hotmail.com So, I have these questions: Q: Do I need proxy65/SOCKS5 installed as a service on the gateway server? I ran the g/w server both with and without the proxy65 service, but file transfer didn't work. I'm not sure if I was doing it right. Q: Does PyMSNt only make tcp connections outbound? Are they on port 8010, or is that just a jabber convention? What firewall ports need to be opened inbound and outbound? (I take it that means all of ns[12345].msft.net.?) Q: If I enable ftOOBPort, does MS/hotmail.com do an HTTP GET to there? Does the name of the server running the PyMSNt need to be DNS-resolvable from 'the Internet'? Does msn.myserver.com need to be DNS-resolvable from 'the Internet'? Thanks, Wendell
