[JDEV] file transfer

[Dave]

If your main concern is firewalls, you may want to make use of the PASS
component of Jabber.  If you ask me, it's the perfect solution to your
problem, because it enables you to use an existing protocol without
having to worry about one (or even both) users being behind firewalls.
It also means your Jabber clients don't have to go through all that
connecting/listening gunk, which may save a few K in your source files ;-)
