<steps>
<item>
<p>
From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, perform one of the following:
</p>
<list>
<item>
<p>
Right-click on the contact you want to send a file, and select <gui>Send file</gui>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Click on the contact you want to send a file, and choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui>
<gui>Contact</gui><gui>Send file</gui></guiseq>.
</p>
</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Select the file to send, and click on <gui>Send</gui>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
The <gui>File Transfers</gui> window will appear. Wait for your contact to accept the
file transfer, or click <gui>Stop</gui> to halt the transfer.
</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note>
<p>
It is possible to send files only using the following services: <em>Jabber</em>,
<em>Google Talk</em> and <em>Salut</em>.
</p>
</note>
<p>
If your contact accepts the file transfer, you can watch the progress of the
transfer and see the estimated amount of time remaining before it is complete.
</p>
<p>
If they do not accept it, the status of the transfer will change to <gui>File
transfer cancelled</gui>, and the file will not be sent.
</p>
<p>
Once a transfer is finished, you can close the <gui>File Transfers</gui>
window. If you have multiple finished transfers listed in the window, click on
<gui>Clear</gui> to empty the list. This will only remove the files from the
list and will not delete them from your computer.
</p>
<note>
<p>
In order to send a file to someone, you need to be connected to the Internet, or to
a local area network.
