Incoming file transfer canceled
Hi,
When somebody is trying to send me a picture or voice note using bbm, I am geeting a message that said "incoming file transfer canceled. Your built in media storage and media card are full". I have 23.9 MB free memory and 5.1GB in the media card.
My blackbery is 8520 v5.0.0.900 Bundle 1626
BBM is 6.1.0.71
Could somebody help me?
Thanks in advance,
Pablo
Never mind, is working now, I delete several pics and now is receiving with no problem. Apparently the bbm has a limit in the storage.

Incoming file transfer cancelled. Your built-in media storage and media card are full
There is a knowlege base KB29417 descussing the error, and it says that we have to upgrade to BBM 6.1.0.37. The problem is I have 6.1.0.49 and cannot downgrade to that version.
Try transferring your files thru FTP, maybe be mediahub is having a problem when using Windows File Transfer. You could also try a reboot of the mediahub and use the teracopy utility for transferring large files.

Incoming file transfer problem
Whenever I accept a file transfer from a friend, iChat freezes up and the rainbow wheel shows up. After a few seconds, my whole computer becomes agonizingly slow. Just switching between apps or waiting for the dock to appear can take around 5 seconds. I have to force quit iChat and wait for my computer to calm down a bit before opening iChat back up. After I re-open it, I'm able to accept the file transfer immediately without trouble. However if I accept a file transfer later on, the same problem occurs.
I've looked around, but haven't been able to find any information about this problem. Help is much appreciated.In iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings what port is iChat logging on to the AIm servers with ?
If it is port 5190 log out of AIM and try port 443

Re AD002357145UK I have just subscribed to Adobe Send. I am sure that v revently I used Adobe Send Now for free. Is that still possible (which means I could cancel AdobeSendNow subscription) or do I have to subscribe to Adobe Send to carry out file transfer. Incidentally I have Adobe Creative Suite. Thanks.

"Windows - No Disk" error message on file transfer
Hello!
I updated our ZDM7 server from plain old ZDM7 with no updates to ZDM7 SP1
IR1. Now, when initiating File Transfer operation with any workstation, up
comes this error message:
"Windows - No Disk"
"Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c"
[Cancel] [Try Again] [Continue]
If I click "Continue" 4 times, file transfer starts up successfully.
Any ideas about how to get rid of this annoying message?

UCMA 4 and back to backing a file transfer request
OK, I know that file transfer isn't technically supported on UCMA 4.0, but I wanted to take another look at it and see whether there was a way to b2b a file transfer request. After all, there's no reason that it shouldn't work if the messaging is correct,
right? The scenario I have is A <-b2b-> app <-b2b->B. I have an IM conversation going on between A and B, so now I'm trying to set it up so that A can send a file to B.
So far I've extended the platform to accept file transfer requests by creating my own call and factory classes, and then registering them using RegisterPlatformExtension. This means that when A sends a file, the INVITE gets delivered to my application.
Now I'm taking that INVITE and creating a new b2b call. A file transfer request looks something like this:
TL_INFO(TF_PROTOCOL) [0]16A8.4B28::02/10/2015-19:53:05.007.001d492f (SIPStack,SIPAdminLog::ProtocolRecord::Flush:ProtocolRecord.cpp(265))[3939761282] $$begin_record

I've got my b2bed invite looking almost identical to the original invite by creating a custom MIME type on the CallEstablishOptions for the back to back call using something like this:
Regex r = new Regex(@"^((.|\n)*)(\<request)((.|\n)*)(request\>)((.|\n)*)$");
Match m=r.Match(args.RequestData.GetMessageBodyString());
content=string.Format("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n{0}{1}{2}",m.Groups[3],m.Groups[4],m.Groups[6]);
opt.CustomMimeParts.Add(new MimePartContentDescription(new ContentType("application/ms-filetransfer+xml"),System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content)));
opt.CustomMimeParts[0].ContentDispositionHeader = new SignalingHeader("Content-Disposition", "render; handling=optional");
So far the only differences I can see in my outbound message vs the original SDP are that the Content-Transfer-Encoding might not be seen as a header (since the SignalingHeaders property on the MimePartContentDescription is read only), and the Content-Transfer-Encoding
on the first MIME part (created by the BackToBackCall) is missing (even though I specified it on the PassThroughHeaders). Even with all of this though, I still get a 488 on client B when I attempt the transfer (even though the invite goes through).
What I'm wondering though, is whether there's any way at all to get this working the way I'd expect, where a file gets transferred directly between A and B, without my bot having to receive it first. The other approach I've looked at is binding my
own media provider class to customize the SDP, but if this MIME part approach isn't going to work, then I have a feeling the media provider won't work either.
Any suggestions on where to look next?
Thanks!
ChrisChris,
I am trying to do something similar to this and from what I have read and in talking to MS is that you need to extend the Call and Flow class which it looks like you have been able to do. Could I bother you to share what you have written? Maybe we can help
each other out on this. I am basically trying to create an application that will be able to capture a file transfer and save it, then send the original request on to the intended recipient.
Thanks in advance,

How to increase the speed of network file transfer
hi ,
In my application i want to use the file from one system to another system.
i am using stream reader to get the file over the network , its working fine for small file,
but i want to access file size exceed 10 MB then i faced the problem. Its get very slow the file transfer over the network.
so i am try to use java NIO for transfer file,
Using NIO , While i am make server and client both are same system then the file tranfer is 10MB file in 10 seconds , but i am making server and client are different machine then its take so long to transfer file ie (10 MB file in 3 minutes).
I want to reduce the time . If any chance to reduced the file transfer time then please suggest me.

}Data transfer rate for a single client is unlikely to be effected by using NIO or old blocking IO. The important factor is the maximum transfer rate you can get between the sender and receiver.
You should be able to get 0.5-1.0 MB per second for each 10 Mbit per second of available bandwidth. Your timings suggest you are getting about a 10-20 Mbit/s link speed. -
HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro
File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?
Hi Brok25;
Thanks for the question. The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop. Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
Sending files to and from an older Mac
If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
Tips for sending files
Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*

File transfer issues in Skype 6.22?
Recently updated to 6.22 and lost the ability to decline incoming files. In previous versions you had to options - accept or decline, now the only options seem to be "accept" or ignore and then the file request just sits in the chat window as incomplete. Is this a setting that can be changed or do I need to stay annoyed by it forever?
Moreover: After accepting a file transfer, you used to be able to click the "view in folder" link and open the file location. This also seem to be removed. Comments on this?...also you can just start by opening the conversation with the first member of your future group you want to create and then simply use the "Add contacts" button on top right to add the other members. This way a new group conversation will be created as well.
We are right now working to update this FAQ to reflect that information: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1005/how-do-i-start-a-group-instant-message-in-skype-for-windows-...

JProgressBar and file transfer
Hi, I am trying to use a JProgressBar to determine how many bytes have been sent so far. I have constructed the JProgressBar with the maximum size of the file size. For each 'segment' of the file sent, the progress bar should increment using the setProgress() within the SwingWorker class. If I print the values out, they appear to be correct. However, if I use setProgress() the file transfer seems to fail (not even begin).
Here's the relevant code:
public class FileTracker extends JDialog implements PropertyChangeListener {
private JPanel mainPnl = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
private JPanel progressBarPnl = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
private JPanel midPnl = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
private JPanel bottomPnl = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
private JLabel fileNameLbl = new JLabel("File name: ");
private JLabel fileNamexLbl = new JLabel();
private JLabel sizeLbl = new JLabel("File size: ");
private JLabel sizexLbl = new JLabel();
private JButton cancelBtn = new JButton("Cancel");
private JProgressBar progressBar;
private FileSender fileSender;
private FileReceiver fileReceiver;
private File file;
public FileTracker(JFrame parent, String ip, int port, File file) {
super (parent);
this.file = file;
fileSender = new FileSender(ip, port, file);
fileSender.addPropertyChangeListener(this);
fileSender.execute();
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
progressBar = new JProgressBar();
progressBar.setMaximum((int)file.length());
add(progressBarPanel());
setResizable(false);
setTitle("File sending..");
pack();
setVisible(true);
private JPanel progressBarPanel() {
progressBar.setValue(0);
progressBar.setEnabled(true);
progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
progressBarPnl.add(progressBar, BorderLayout.CENTER);
return progressBarPnl;
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
if ("progress" == evt.getPropertyName()) {
int progress = (Integer) evt.getNewValue();
if (progressBar.isIndeterminate())
progressBar.setIndeterminate(false);
progressBar.setValue(progress);
if (fileSender != null && fileSender.isDone())
progressBar.setString("Transfer finished");
if (fileReceiver != null && fileReceiver.isDone())
progressBar.setString("Transfer finished");
}The SwingWorker:
public class FileSender extends SwingWorker<Void, Void> {
private Socket socket;
private FileInputStream fileIn;
private OutputStream output;
private File file;
private byte buffer[];
private int bufferSize;
int bytesRead;
int progress = 0;
public FileSender(String ipAddress, int port, File file) {
try {
System.out.printf("NOTICE: FileSender initialised. Sending to:%s on port: %d\n", ipAddress, port);
socket = new Socket(InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress), port);
output = socket.getOutputStream();
bufferSize = socket.getSendBufferSize();
buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
this.file = file;
setProgress(0);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
// THE USER MUST BE INFORMED THAT THE RECIPIENT COULD NOT BE RESOLVED
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (java.net.ConnectException ce) {
// INFORM THE USER THAT THE RECIPIENT COULD NOT BE REACHED
ce.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public Void doInBackground() {
sendFile();
return null;
public void sendFile() {
System.out.printf("NOTICE: Sending file %s %d bytes formed of %d segments.\n", file.getName(), file.length(), file.length()/bufferSize < 1 ? 1 : file.length()/bufferSize);
try {
fileIn = new FileInputStream(file);
while ((bytesRead = fileIn.read(buffer)) > 0) {
output.write(buffer, 0 , bytesRead);
progress = progress + bufferSize;
if (progress < file.length())
setProgress(progress);
else
setProgress((int)file.length());
output.close();
fileIn.close();
socket.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}This has been bugging me for a long time. Any help/suggestions much appreciated.when you create an SSCCE and get rid of all the File, socket, streams and whatnot (something that you should do next time), you notice something funny:

filetracker.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
public void run()
createAndShowUI();
}The SwingWorker stops when only 20% of "file transfer" has occurred, but when the progress has reached 100. Then if you go into the [SwingWorker API for setProgress|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingWorker.html#setProgress(int)] , you see why the program is stopping here: the SwingWorker stops when its progress property reaches 100. So you must change this to a ratio rather than total bytes. -
Hide the Bluetooth File Transfer Window
Can anyone give me any clues as to how I could stop the File transfer WIndow appearing when I Bluetooth an image from phone to my Mac?
It is the Obex Agent window. That says Incoming File etc
It will appear over any open applications right in the centre of the screen. I have tried instantly hiding it when it appears with Applescript but this is not quite good enough for my purposes.
Any idea how I can ideally disable it. Or at least move its location.
Or a better place to ask for help?
Thanks
GavinApple aren't here. You won't get a response from Apple on this user-to-user help forum.
Although speculation on Apple policies is not permitted on this forum, it has been previously speculated frequently, that the reasons for not allowing Bluetooth file transfers are:
1) Bluetooth is too slow for transferring multi-megabyte / gigabyte media files that iOS devices typically store. There are much faster ways of transferring files, not limited by arbitrary distances Bluetooth is.
2) Allowing file transfers would allow illegal sharing of copyrighted music and video files. Apple has a duty to protect such files from easy sharing due to agreements with the copyright holders for whom they sell this copyrighted content in the iTunes Store. -
IChat AV 4 File Transfer is broken
Whenever someone sends me a file transfer, a message pops up that you can either press, "Save" or "Cancel". Of course I press save and my file transfers window comes up. It says "Size - Calculating" then always a few seconds later it says, "No response from (whoever sent me the file). They never canceled it or anything. And they get a message saying that I canceled the transfer. But I can send a file and it works fine. This is really bugging me.
Why does this happen? I really would like for my transfers to work!!!
What can I do???
Thanks
Message was edited by: Asher StocklerHi,
Welcome to the Discussion Pages
1) Open up iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings
Log out of your AIM or @mac screen name and then change the port from 5190 to 443 and log back in again.
2) Check that whatever method you are using to open ports in your modem or router allows Port 5190 on UDP

How to know when FTP of incoming file is complete
Dear all,
i would like to know when the FTP is complete on my server of an incoming file from another machine.
and as soon as the FTP is complete i want to start the SQLLDR for that file automatically.
i am using Redhat linux enterprise linux server release 5.5 with Oracle 11gR2 RAC.
i have already made the SQLLDR script for the file uploading. however at this time i can only manually run the script or schedule it using cronjob. but with cronjob i cannot know if the FTP has completed or not.
many thanks .Who is initiating the ftp task? Why not creating a checksum file using "cksum" or "md5" command and include it in the ftp transfer. Then verify the checksum of the uploaded file before performing the SQL Loader process.
Sounds like a job for the DBMS_SCHEDULER or SQL Loader preprocessor feature.
Re: Need to call Shell script that uses SQL loader in APex4.1/11g -
Bluetooth file transfer from BB Z10 to Windows 7 Laptop
I have my BBZ10 (OS 10.2.0.424) successfully paired with Windows 7 Laptop. I often use the BBZ10 BT Internet Teethering. It works very well.
However, when I want to transfer a file from BBZ10 to my Laptop. I follow this process
In the background the Internet Teethering is ON, and working
select the file in Z10 File Manager.
click on share icon to share using BLUETOOTH
Before pressing the name of my paired devices on Z10. I click Bluetooth icon on laptop and select 'receive a file'. This opens a box showing the laptop is waiting in receive mode.
Then I select my paired computer name on Z10 to initiate transfer.
The transfer bar appears on Z10 showing the progress, but in 4-5 seconds, it says 'TRANSFER CANCELLED'.
And on my laptop it says 'BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER NOT COMPLETED'.
i have used exactly same process with my BB 9800 several times with success.
Another thing I note is, if the Internet teethering is OFF, I cannot turn BT connection to the laptop on. It come up with error message ' Cant' connect , you must turn on internet teethering on yoru device.'
Please troubleshoot.hi eddie-n200,
Can you send a file from the laptop to the cellphone? If you can, check if the "Allow remote devices to browse, send, and receive pictures, music, and other files" option is enabled on the BT settings:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
As an alternative, you may also want to try Bluesoleil or similar software to send/receive from the laptop.
Edit: Added image
Hope this helps

Skyp file transfer on LAN slow for windows and Mac...
Hi,
We are extensively use skype and since we upgrade skype to 6.18 and above ... file transfer on LAN is super slow... to transfer file 200MB it took over 15 minutes but when i'm skype 6.16 it took about 45 seconds... can anyone lemme know to fix it or tweak it on both Mac and windows so i can speed up file transfer on LAN....I've been experiencing the same issue. I keep having to downgrade to 6.16 and cancel automatic updates for this same reason. It's really frustrating as my work involves sendig and receiving files via Skype. Versions 6.18 and up not only are too slow (a large file, for example, that would normally take 18 hours or less to transfer takes 1 week! on 6.18 and higher) but also slow down my whole connection while surfing. 6.16 allows me to transfer at a fast speed and I can watch videos and have a 256k livestream radio going, be on a skype call and still have enough speed to download from the Internet without slowing anything down. This is completely unacceptable. I see that no one has replied to this and nothing has been done to fix this issue. I wonder if Skype even browses through these.
