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.
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 for how to change the directory to which received files are saved.
