instant-messaging and compton.networks.org

As far as I can tell you must have another pidgin user to transfer files but hopefully they have fixed this problem and it will work with the different clients available.

thanks.
Just to get it right: say i wanna move files/data from lenny-hard-drive to lenny-virtualbox (just for the fun of it). I would need to create a second instant-messaging-user (somewhere) and than give it a go?
At Pidgins window, when chatting, theres a button which says <file>, i guess i gotta click on it, and will then be asked which file i wanna send? (in other words, how would it be in kopete, similar to what i just tried to describe in humbling words? )

btw: thanks a lot for helping me setting up pidgin. As you allready know it finally worked with all your help.

Hello my friend,
I will be happy to try and see if it works. Since I use Kopete it should be interesting.
