Frank Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 There are other programs, but if you are behind a firewall, and your friend is behind a file, you need to unblock the ports that the program needs in able to send the files. Other options are email and FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 ftp is not going to work unless either one of them will open some ports. so it's either email or some web host.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxxCon Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 you said Other options are email and FTP. implying that if neither of them can't open ports they should use FTP.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 What I meant was a FTP on a offsite webhost.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzdawg Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 if both of you have the lastest version of AIM.. i think its beta 5.5 or something ... even with a firewall.. the file transfer still works.. just update to latest beta version of AIM...
