     21== Is file transfer supported? ==
     22Somewhat.  Sending and receiving files is currently supported on:
     23 * AIM (hard limit of 4GiB)
     24 * ICQ (hard limit of 4 GiB)
     25 * IRC
     26 * MSN (send through server only)
     27 * SILC
     28 * Yahoo when not using an HTTP proxy and when the remote end uses a libpurple client or Yahoo Messenger 6 for Windows (but sending is limited to an unknown file size)
     29 * XMPP (Jabber) when neither side is behind a NAT device.

     31Most protocols support file transfer, but libpurple doesn't support it yet.  If you would like the file transfer support to work better or be more complete, grab the source and submit a patch!
