Why dodn't I notice before, the SendFile plugin uses the same command But ok, everything works now (exept for the SendFile plugin), and I can send files.

But would it be possible to change the command, so I could use SendFile again (sends the contents of a text file, nice plugin)?

Sorry to be so picky.

hmm ok i tried the plugin but unfortunately cant get it to work here is hte scenario my friends lets say pc 1 no router just a simple ADSL modem alcatel directly connected to internet .. my pc alcatel speedtouch router, opened all the ports specified inthe settings. added the ip maunally and did the automatic also i cant send a file to him it just says waiting connection stays there for sometime and hten shows cancelled. now my friend when he does that he also gets the same message though he is not using a router i tried all the ways hostname, ip address manual detection but cant get it to work.Maybe i am doing something wrong. RicarDog can you pm me your email address so that i can test it with you and see if i am doing something wrong or u need some more checking with diff routers and stuff ..btw nice work.

That has nothing to do with testeng different routers. It's just about the speedtouch, a realy modem with way too good protection, try the following:
[list=1]
[*]go to http://10.0.0.138
[*]Go to advanced
[*]Go to NAPT
[*]Go to defeult server
[*]In the text box that you'll see now, enter thet LAN-IP of your PC (the IP you see in the options dialog of FileTransfer Plus!)
[*]Click apply
[*]Try to send a file now, with the "auto-detect IP" function
[/list]

If you don't understand, contact me on MSN (see my profile)

i can do that but that means putting up a sign that says hackme lol. default server is not that trustable i dont get it that if i forward ports it shud work since all the ports are forwarded.lets see what Ricar comes up with. Thanks for your help also.

Yeah, you're right at that, I figured I should mention that, just when I turned of the computer yesterday. Though I realy advise you to try this with a very good software firewall turned on, just for the testing... If you can send files with default server enabled, you've probably done something wrong with the port mapping...

Remember that the plugin tries to use the port numbers sequentially, so it will try first at 8030, and it will only try the next port if the previous one was busy. You have to be sure that the port 8030 is open for incoming TCP connections, originating from any IP address. Some ISPs do not allow any incoming connections, so you might have to check that too.

BTW, for people who can't have incoming connections, I'll add a feature soon that solves the problem by switching the client/server role for sender/receiver.

This plug isn't working for me either , I can receive files but I can't send them. I think it's about the port forwarding. I don't know how to ... I have a Sitecom Dc-202 router btw...

EDIT:

Also I have a suggestion.

What if you let it send a special ping after you typed /xsendfile and picked the file, and if there's a special pong it sends the file the special way, and if you don't get a pong, (meaning the other person does'nt have the plugin) it uses the normal way, (using /dropfile or something)

1.0 RELEASE UPDATE

- File integrity checking (checksum) after completion;
  This allows you to be sure that your file is not damaged before opening it.
- Customizable send file command (the default is "/xsendfile");
  You can change it to avoid compatibility issues with other plugins. You have to restart Messenger for the changes to take effect.
- Advanced option: customizable packet size to match the connection's Maximum Segment Size (MSS);
  Your send speed may be increased if you set your packet size to a multiple of MSS. To know the MSS of your connection, check it in the SpeedGuide.net website.
- You can now share the File Transfer Plus plugin with your contacts (type /xsharetransferplus to send them the setup);
  This command will send the File Transfer Plus setup package to your contact using the built-in Messenger file transfer.
- Fixed ocasional errors that happened when the transfer was canceled;
- Bug fixes in Time Left and other minor fixes.

To update, just download the new setup package, close Messenger, install, and run Messenger again.

Features Postponed to 1.1

- Support for sending files in computers that block incoming connections (including firewall cases). This will be done by an option that sets the receiver as the server and the sender as the client.
- Preview feature for media file types.
- Check to see if the contact already has the plugin installed, otherwise the transfer is done by the Messenger's file transfer.
- IP address optionally encrypted.
- Command to check for new plugin updates.

Note that this version is NOT compatible with previous BETA releases.

can't wait for the 1.1 release i think i'll wait till then before downloading as i'm behind a NAT

Excelent work! It has been an honor to test it.

Now I'm spreading this plug-in through my Contact list.

Greetings.
