Ichat file transfer to Gtalk user

Why am i not able to transfer files while using Ichat to a friend who is using the gtalk program?

Umm,
I would have said the link to someone using the Web based option as the web based option is likely to use the Web Browsing port (80) and I have tried this and it does not work.
Now this page leads to a Download that Windows or Intel Macs can install.
For Macs it is a web Browser Plug-in
I am not sure if this is really what the GoogleTalk option is for PCs
If I log on to the Google Web Mail Page it says my PPC Mac con not Video.
(it makes no mention of Sending Files)
This list of FAQs does not mention File Sending.
Can they Send Files to other Googletalk Buddies on PCs ?

IChat File Transfer/Video Chat won't work... :(

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to get ichat to allow file transfers/video chatting on my Mac, I have a feeling that the setup through the routers that we have are not allowing it to function as it is constantly giving me errors. My set up is a Cable Modem hooked into a Netgear WGR614 v6 and then an ethernet wire running from that router to a Linksys WRT54G v8. I have the WRT54G set up with the following settings:
IP: 192.168.1.136
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Static DNS 1 and 2: Are my IP's DNS servers
Static DNS 3 is blank
Local IP address is .199 with a subnet of 255.255.255.128
I have DHCP enabled starting at .200 with 30 users
My computer is also set up statically at port .233.
The Netgear WGR614 v6 is set up with the following settings:
Get IP/DNS dynamically from ISP
DHCP Range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.51. Router is on a subnet of 255.255.255.0 the linksys is set up statically to the Netgear
SO, this brings me to my issue, I am trying to get ichat file transfer/video to work, I have followed the instructions for setting up portforwarding from portforward.com for ichat on both the netgear and the linksys. On the linksys, i set the IP address to forward to as my computers (.233)
On the netgear, i set the ip address to forward to as 192.168.1.136 (the static IP of the linksys).
Anyway, I am hoping someone can point out what I am doing wrong as I am still getting this error: An AIM error has occurred. Unable to talk directly to your buddy. I am also getting this error: An AIM service error occurred. The server message was: Serv:RequestTimeout.
My OS X firewall is off.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE!!

Hi,
I am not sure I have understood your Networking here.
You say the Netgear is getting an IP (Via DHCP) from the ISP.
You go onto say it is at 192.168.1.1
It issues IP addresses from 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.51 and the Linksys has an IP outside this range at 192.168.1.136
Your computer is at 192.168.1.233
As both devices are using the 192.168.1.xxx group and doing DHCP (even with restricted groups) how does the computer know which one to connect to ?
You should be able to change the group that each device is using for it's own network (I would suggest the Netgear)
You should also turn Off DHCP (to the LAN) in the Netgear so it's own network (subnet) only goes as far as the Linksys.
Similarly in the Linksys make sure DHCP is Off or change the Mac to use Manually (Static) with DHCP.
Both devices can do UPnP found in the Administration tab in the Linksys and the WAN page of the Netgear.
Turn Off/disable all Port Forwarding in both devices.
It may also pay to copy across the Linksys and Computer the DNS server IPs from the Netgear.

WebUtil file transfer in multiple user implementation

Hi
Installed WebUtil and able to integrate forms/reports in Web enviroenment 10gAs.
Around 30 to 40 people will use this application, Now to do client side integration (To Save generated output to Cleint m/c) we are geerating file on AppServer and transferring using Webutil file transfer but my question if multiple users running same report from form and generates two different date ranges to generate to same file on Appserver, How Can I use WebUtil file tranfer for two people running same report. Is that going to be problem in concurrent user environment.
Setup 10gAs, User A select report A and run with two different data ranges and file saved on Appserver as test.pdf and now user b want to run same report with time range little bit different time range and file has to be saved to same test.pdf on ApopServer, Now how oracle going to handle this ???????.
Pl answer this is very important as we are running this reports in Web implementation with more than 30 users.
Many thanks in advance.
Murthy

Surely the real issue is that you are always generating to the same filename? Incorporate an identifier into the filename. e.g. the username

Ichat file transfer issues

Hi, is anyone else experiencing as issue with iChat where if you send over a file like an mp3 it says unexpected error in the file transfer box after the recipient accepts the file? The process was working yesterday and has done this all day. Please someone help.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Some people are reporting that GoogleTalk files sending is a bit suspect with iChat
Some others are reporting issues with Snow Leopard to Leopard File Sharing although it works Leopard to Snow Leopard with the same computers. (AIM based Buddy lists)

IChat File Transfer - yikes.

I'm looking for something that will allow me to transfer files over ip mac to mac. iChat isn't cutting it when transferring rather large files.. such as an episode of south park.
Anyone have any suggestions?

transfer files over ip mac to mac.
You might want to take a look at iVisit
Mac/PC, Multi-party (up to 16) multi-way (all live) video, audio, chat, messaging, file transfer, desktop sharing and more ...
It works on a wide range of hardware and has lower bandwidth/CPU requirements than iChat.

IChat File Transfer port issue (can't listen to port 5190 and 7777)

Greentings ladies and gentlemen,
I need help opening port 5190 and 7777 for ichat server file transfers. As for now, my situation can be described as below:
(1)I have a ichat server in a mac mini(2010, newest model as for today) running a fully updated version of MACOSX SERVER 10.6 inside a lab in my university.
(2)As for the ichat server itself, text, voice, video between 2 or more persons are all working great. As for clients the latest version of ichat and pidgin(text only) are being used. The only problem is the lack of file transfer between ichat clients.
(3)The server is behind a router (YAMAHA RTX 1200). I am 100% sure that the router is correctly configured to allow packets in and out of the port 5190 and 7777, among the other necessary ports. All the other ports are open and working correctly. I also manually disabled the firewall of a windows7 laptop and tested packet transfers on both ports and both worked fine.
(4)As I said before, the server is inside my university lab. I made sure that all ports between 1023~65535 are open in the univesity gateway/backbone network.
Bellow are firewall(IPFW) settings before flushing (tried configuring using both GUI and CUI, and both returned the same results)

As you can see my firewall settings are not being reflected on the actual server firewall.
Is there any way I could just force the server into listening the port?
If necessary I can post screenshots of every ichat server/firewall configuration tab from the Server Admin GUI.
Thanks in advance for any help/support.

First off, realize there is no association between your firewall rules and netstat.
Just because your firewall is letting traffic in that does not mean it will appear in your netstat.
netstat -a will show you a list of ports that are in use - i.e. there is some process listening to (or writing to) that port. That is independent of whether the firewall permits the traffic (e.g. the firewall could well allow traffic in on 5190, but unless there's a process listening to 5190 you won't see it in the netstat).
Secondly, IIRC iChat file transfers are client-to-client therefore it might not be your server, or your server's firewall or your server's network that's the issue - the client will need to have a firewall configured to allow incoming traffic from other iChat clients.
Does that help shed some light on things? (it isn't clear whether your post is referring to the server or the client side of things).

Ichat file transfer fails

Hi,
My ichat file transfers fails at first attempt then again it works fine for my second attempt.
And i have a perfect network with working dns and PTR records.
Please help.
Thanks,

IChat file transfer speed

I am transferring a 2.88 gig file using iChat. Is there a way to increase the transfer rate? The longer the file goes through the transfer process, the longer the estimated completion time gets! Now it's up to 345 minutes and steadily rising even though the file is transferring. There has to be a quicker way to move files this large. Help!

You need something like YouSendIt
Tried a test a while back with a 400mb file in iChat and it took over 4 hours.

IChat file transfer

Every time I try to transfer files with a friend on iChat, it freezes my computer, exits out of iChat, and often needs to be rebooted.
If I send a file, it functions normally. Also, this freezing only happens with certain types of file transfers--when I have to actually download the pic / file. Sometimes the picture appears in the iChat window. Then it normally doesn't freeze. However, when I'm prompted to click the arrow thing and download the file, it always freezes.
Any suggestions?

It could be in the naming convention used
Certain characters like the Slash / would regarded and a file path name. There would be others that PC systems may use such as a Colon :
Too many dots . such as picture1.me.jpg
Or even two types of file listed as .jpg.png or similar.
Other things that can effect it is if the Buddy is dropping the pic file on your Name in the Buddy list (tends to get sent as a file) or dropping in the text sending field when it is sent as a Pic in the chat.
It would be worth finding out if he is having trouble dropping them into the Chat and resorting to sending that as a File ?
I once had someone who claimed that could crash my iChat and did so in a similar way.
Turned out he had a faulty router in the end (i.e. His end not mine even though my iChat Crashed)

Problem Lync 2013 File Transfer not working with externally connected users

I've a Single consolidated edge with private IP addresses using NAT in Lync Server 2013 and I'm facing some problem during File Transfer with all users outside my network both federated user or user of my lync infrastructure externally connected.
I drag and drop a file into the conversation, I press enter then the receiver see only the icon without the "save as" option

Hi,
Did you receive any error on FE Server or Edge Server when the issue happen?
Make sure all Lync Services started on Edge Server (especially for Lync Server Web conferencing Edge).
Check if CMS status on Edge Server update to the latest status.

How to block file transfer and desktop sharing in Lync 2010 for Fedrated and Guest Users

Dear,
Can anybody guide me how to restrict desktop sharing and file transfer for federated and Anonymous logins in Lync 2010.
I have tried to apply this policy through “Conferencing Policy”, but this gets applied to all users including corporate users.
Please help in this.

Hi,
As my knowledge, the CsFileTransferFilterConfiguration and setting in confercing policy are used to block transfer file between users. So if the policy is applied to user, the user would not transfer file with anybody. Since all Federation and Guest
Users access thought the Access Edge service, here is a update that helps to enable the control of the file transfer through the Access Edge service.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2621840
The update helps to define the file transfer policy between users on the local area network and users that connect through the Access Edge server in a Microsoft Lync Server 2010 environment. It helps protect Microsoft Lync Server 2010 deployment against
the spread of the most common forms of viruses with minimal degradation to the user experience.

File Transfer Option Greyed Out with Google Talk users..

I don't know if this is possible. Is it possible to get file transfer to work between Mac iChat 4.0 users and Google Talk Windows users? Or is this not possible.. if it is possible can someone point me in the direction of getting this enabled?
Thank you,
Kevin

I think I've ran into a licensing issue; On Oracle Standard Edition, only ASM is allowed.

Ichat 4 + Google Talk + file transfer

Hi!
I'm trying to send files from iChat to iChat both with GoogleTalk
accounts without success.
The file transfer window displays that it is preparing but this goes
on forever. At the receiver the file transfer windows says
calculating.
Both are using 10.5.2 with an up to date iChat. Firewall is off.
ScreenSharing and Audio/Video is working fine.
I tested it with .Mac accounts and there file transfering is working
without any problems.
Thanks for any hint to solve this problem. It is really bothering me.
Cheers,
Stefan

I've tested this between my Google Talk account and my Jabber account. I used iChat on my Mac Mini to connect to iChat on my MacBook. Both are running 10.5.2. I found that for Jabber file transfers there are two phases. In phase 1 the Chat clients negotiate the file transfer parameters using the server as an intermediary. In phase 2 the receiver uses TCP to connect to the port from phase 1. If the connection is successful the file transfer begins. If it fails the sender can offer another IP address/port for transfer and the receiver can try again. This goes on until the sender has exhausted his list of available IP addresses and ports.
Problems with file transfer will usually happen at phase 1. At the end of phase 1 the Chat client that wishes to send the file sends a message that details the IP address and port for the receiver. The receiver should try to connect to this IP address and port and get the file. This will fail if there is either a NAT or a Firewall between the receiver and the sender. A NAT botches the transfer because iChat doesn't do anything to try to figure out what it's real address is. A firewall botches the transfer by discarding the inbound TCP SYN packets that initiate the communication between sender and receiver. This is made worse by the fact that as sender iChat doesn't use the same TCP port for transfer all the time.
In the end file transfer will work for two chat clients that can deliver packets between each other. Two people on the same LAN or on two seperate addresses that are neither NATed nor Firewalled. I've also got this going for people who have a VPN. iChat doesn't help you here. In fact it makes things worse by not choosing a constant port which means that arranging for transfer in your firewall policy is problematic. Ideally a chat client like Psi can be made to work. Psi allows the user to specify both the port and IP address specified in transfer.

File transfer between user accounts

How can I transfer garage band files (projects) from one user account to another, on the same macbook?

3963
Welcome to Discussions!
In addition to Eric's excellent solution:
- So that they are visible and usable only to the one other user, you just have to drag and drop them to his
/Users/otheruser/Public/Drop Box
(message prompt: "you won't be able to see the result": yes, that's because it's the other user who will see it. No problem)
- Another kind of solution comes to mind:
In order to often and regularly work on the same files, it is sometimes a good idea to create yet another user account, named "Team" or "Crew" or something, where you start all projects that are meant to be seen by many.
Enjoy your Mac!

How can I transfer iPhoto files from one admin user to another on the same Mac?

i created a new admin user on my computer, so now my husband has one and so do i. how can i transfer our iphoto files from his admin user to mine as a shared file? i was able to do this with itunes easily but i am not able to do it with iphoto.

You want to share the Library?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
