ok me and another person each downloaded this plugin with intentions to create a file server. Now the manual that came with it gave the commands to use although we were unsuccesful with our efforts. For example, typing /xfserve on will enable the server which a pop up comes up and says it is enabled and then i type /xfserve enabled and another popup comes up and says its enabled at **:**. So now i type /xclient status  when i send that all it says in the conversation is statu!Status and when i type /xclient dir i will also get the message that says dir--!dir What does this mean. I had selected the directory and everything. What are the issues here? How can we solve them so that the other contact can browse the directory that i have selected so he can download files instead of me having to send one by one. we are both behind routers and firewalls aswell.

FileServer is not compatible with MSG Plus anymore.

why is it incompatible?

Because it uses an older plugin interface and functions.

Note that Pleh's file sharing plugin still works though.

And also note that in the upcomming Windows Live Messenger (new name for MSN Messenger) there will be a File Sharing function already build in...

ok that new 2.0.0 update, do i just add the .dll file to the directory and should the other one be removed? And will it work now and i won't get those stupid messages when i type a command?+

It is explained in that thread which I linked to.

1) Install version 1.2 (to add the correct values to the registry)
2) after that, unregister the OLD DLL
3) unzip the version 2.0 DLL and replace the old DLL with this new DLL you just unzipped.
4) register this (new) DLL again...

Registering a DLL is done by going to Start > Run and entering this in the command prompt:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\messenger plus!3\plugins\plehfilesharingvb.dll"

Unregistering a DLL is done by going to Start > Run and entering this in the command prompt:
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\messenger plus!3\plugins\plehfilesharingvb.dll"

(of course, mind the path, it may be different in your case)

ok i cannot register or un register any DLL. i get a message that says the specified module could not be found.

Make sure you typed the path and filename correctly, used the parenthesis, and that the DLL exists.

If it's still not working:

I had the same problem. Try it with the 'cmd' ...
Goto the file's directory and type 'regsvr32 <yourdll>'

That wouldn't help; it will be exactly the same as using Start > Run...

The instructions need to be followed exactly and will work if everything is done exactly as said in that thread were I linked to before! There are no alternatives. He needs to make sure everything is done exactly as described there, and above all, typed without errors.
