Sending Files

To send a file to everyone in the conference, press the Send File button on the toolbar, or select Send File from the Tools menu. Select a file from the file dialog, and click OK.

The file is then transferred to all other conference participants with T.127 file transfer capability. While the file is being sent, a window shows the progress of the transfer.

Receiving Files

Files sent to you by other conference participants are received automatically. While the file is being received, a window shows the progress of the transfer. When the transfer is complete, the file is saved. See Changing the Received Files Directory (below) for how to change the directory to which received files are saved.

Canceling Sending Files

After starting to send files, you can cancel the transfer in one of two ways.

	To cancel the transfers of all the files you are sending, select Cancel All Sends from the Tools menu.
	To cancel sending a single file, select the Cancel Send button from the individual file progress window.

Canceling Receiving Files

	To stop receiving all files, select Cancel All Receives from the Tools menu.
	To stop receiving a single file, select the Cancel Receive button from the file's progress window.

Changing the Received Files Directory

To change the directory to which received files are saved, select Options from the Tools menu, and enter the path of the new directory into the field labeled "Store received files in:". This directory must exist and have write permissions. If subsequently it is deleted, or its permissions change, received files are stored in /tmp.
