I understood the purpose as follows: a) You upload some file to a server (nowadays you could also use XEP-363). b) You send a message to a contact with XEP-0066. c) Contact downloads the uploaded file. The advantage over SI File Transfer is that a file can be sent also in offline case. The end user experience should be the same for all methods of file transfer (SI, Jingle, OOB): - Inform the receiver about an incoming file. - Receiver can choose to accept it. - It should be transparent to the user, if the sender used SI, Jingle or OOB, e.g. if the file is streamed from an URL (XEP-0066) or from the sender directly. TL;DR: The purpose is/was to transfer files in case the receiver is offline. -- Christian _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
