Hello,

I wanted to setup file transfer via a proxy with one oif my friends within the jabber network. Both parties are sitting behind DSL routers. Due to that fact we decided to choose proxy.jabber.org for exchange and Port 8010 as set as default. I didn't know if I should put my JID into the JID field thus I tried both versions (emty and my JID) but we never were able to exchange files. Kopete just told us:

Could not connect to host [user]@jabber.ccc.de/Kopete.

Maybe this is a bug in kopete. It's also really hard to find information or a FAQ about how to set up a jabber client for file transfers. I could not even try to use port forwarding of my DSL router because I couln't figure out which port Jabber uses for file transfers.

Thanks for implementing better file transfer handling. Jabber has to improve.

Nice work anyway
Andreas

you must enter *your* public ip , and forward the port 8010 to you

*OR*  (if you can't forward the port)

and enter proxy JID (proxy.jabber.org) in the proxy jid field


are you doing that ?

I need more information to close the bug.

Comment 3 Andreas Pietzowski 2006-06-18 12:10:17 UTC

is it possible to enter a proxy AND my IP? In my opinion this should be divided by radio buttons and enabled or disabled line edits. would improve usability and understanding of how it works. Am I wrong with my assumtion?

Maybe a predefined list of public proxies would help a lot. Are those parameters given from the jabber server you connect to?

I didn't know how to setup all this before but in the new version there are given some hints below as I can see. I will test it again and tell you more if I still find it hard to set up ;)

Thanks for attending my report anyway.
Andreas
