[ale] [ot] Xmpp, ejabberd question

[Pete Hardie]

I took an XMPP class a while ago, and as I recall XMPP is not a
conduit for the file transfer directly (in most cases), but a
coordination protocol for connections to transfer files via another
protocol.  However, I am in now way an expert on XMPP, so I could be
missing something.

However, you would have to have both ends be XMPP users for one or two
XMPP servers, so that may be a bigger issue is you don't control the
other end machine
