Hi all, I posted a question on conquer chat's web site about wanting to add a file transfer feature to my integrated Conquer Chat/Web Wiz Forum.  Here is a direct paste from that thread. 

I know this isn't the ideal place to post this, but maybe some of you can help or would be interested in this as well.

Hi all, I'm using conquer chat with my Web Wiz Forums and it's working beautifully. One feature I'd like to add though, is file transfer like MSN Messenger has. How I imagine it working would be like this:

You select a users name from a drop down menu and click a "file transfer" button. A file browser window comes up and you can select a file to be sent to only that user. Perhaps uploading the file to a folder and displaying a private message with the link would be easiest.

Is there already something like this?

Any help would be appreciated!

Sending the file is going to be the smallest piece of this. The recipient has to be able to catch the file which means opening up a port on their machine using some sort of secure mechanism that can negotiate firewalls and proxies.

Staging the file though an intermediary server for subsequent retrieval like you mentioned would be easier.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Good point, I had figured a direct connection would be at very least intrusive, so an upload function with a pasted link seems perfect.

Well, I worked on it a bit and have a working upload function with SA Fileup (what my host uses). I am having trouble tailoring it to Conquer Chat though.  I'm going to work on it some more tonight and see if I can't post something up here tomorrow or so. 

That is, if anybody is interested.

I'm interested. Just installed the latest version of Conquer Chat on my site.
