Sure, now I can undersatnd you! After I have direct connect, I can know the IP, but I'am talking about the opening of the connection. (Now I don't have direct connect. That time we simply used our firewall to see where the MSN connect and get the IP.)
This way I must make an ftp server and give my IP then others need to copy that to another program and then send the files. Fortunately the Plus! can send my IP through auto msg, so this works even if I sleep and my comp have reconnected because of some reasons. But that would be more simple to drag and drop these files onto my contact's floating window. I would prefer this for files bigger than 10MB but less than 50MB because they are not so much time to send with my connection, but an eternity for the MSN's server.
And if the Plus! will be able to do this? That's not our decision. There can be plugins for file transfer, but this would be good for video conference too (that's slow too with a good cam), so the direct connect feature could be universal.
