Description albert 2008-08-13 12:45:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'm trying to send a file to a friend of mine.
We both are using the kde 4.1 version of kopete and a GMail account. Our "File transfer" settings are:
 * Public IP Address: empty
 * Port: 8010
 * JID Proxy: empty
After the Authorization Window is displayed and I accepted the transfer, the Copy Panel appears but the progress bar keeps at rest. After a while, it's showed an error window with a message like this:
  Impossible to connect to the host: emailaddress@gmail.com/Kopete
Comment 1 albert 2008-11-09 11:02:26 UTC 
I have tried another configuration:
 * Public IP Address: my public ip 
 * Port: 8010 
 * JID Proxy: empty
and I mapped the port 8010 of my router to my local ip.
File transfer still doesn't work.

It doesn't work for me either, although it was working fine under KDE 3.5.10.
Debian unstable, KDE 4.2.2-1, Kopete 0.70.2
Comment 3 Rémy Greinhofer 2009-05-15 10:57:08 UTC 
Same symptoms here with KDE 4.2.2 and Kopete 0.70.2. However it works very well under Pidgin with the same settings, so it is not a configuration problem I guess.
Comment 4 Gianfranco L'Abbate 2009-05-25 23:01:27 UTC 
The same for me, kde 4.2.3, kopete 0,70.2, kubuntu 9.04.
Comment 5 Detlev Casanova 2009-07-05 01:10:19 UTC 
@albert : when you send a file to someone, his account has to be configured with it's public IP too or with a proxy.

@Everyone : when you try a new configuration (change the IP address, the proxy, etc...), you have to reconnect you xmpp account before trying again.

Do you guys still have that problem now with KDE 4.2.4 or KDE 4.3 RC1 ?
Comment 6 shade 2009-08-15 16:40:01 UTC 
hi, my kopete worked fine with file transfers on jabber in kde 4.2 series. Now i updated kde to 4.3 and with same settings it stoped working. When i try to send a file to someone i just show popup error with jid of user that should get file. No reasons, no help from error window. All is set right, it worked in 4.2. Maybe someone will ask how you set it, so ill write now: ip set to hostname from dyndns, updated automaticly by my router, port set to 8011, and forworded on router.
Comment 7 shade 2009-08-15 16:45:25 UTC 
mistyped: not hostname, but dyndns domain like something.ath.cx.
Comment 8 Roman Jarosz 2010-01-17 16:05:43 UTC 
Should be fixed in KDE SC 4.4
