  <title>Jingle File Transfer</title>
  <abstract>This specification defines a Jingle application type for transferring files between two entities. The protocol provides a modular framework that enables the exchange of information about the file to be transferred as well as the negotiation of parameters such as the transport to be used.</abstract>

<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
  <p>&xep0096; defines the current XMPP protocol extension for file transfer. However, that protocol has several drawbacks, most related to the &xep0095; protocol on which it depends:</p>
  <ol>
    <li>It does not enable a true, bidirectional negotiation; instead, the initiator sets the terms for the file transfer and the responder either accepts the terms or cancels the negotiation.</li>
    <li>It is the only technology in the Jabber/XMPP protocol "stack" that uses <cite>XEP-095: Stream Initiation</cite>. More modern technologies such as voice and video session negotiation use &xep0166;, and it would be helpful if implementors could use the same code for all negotiation use cases.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>To overcome these drawbacks, this specification defines a file transfer negotiation method that meets the following requirements:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>Reuse the session negotiation semantics from <cite>XEP-0166</cite>.</li>
    <li>Reuse the file description format from <cite>XEP-0096</cite>.</li>
    <li>Define a clear upgrade path from <cite>XEP-0096</cite> to this specification.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Jingle file transfer is only as reliable as the transports on which it depends. In particular, SOCKS5 Bytestreams ("S5B") does not always result in NAT or firewall traversal. To work around that problem, this specification requires all implementations to support In-Band Bytestreams ("IBB"), which tends to result in a successful (if slow) file transfer. A future version of this specification will also recommend implementation of a Jingle transport method that emulates the IETF's ICE-TCP technology, which is currently a work in progress (see &ice-tcp;).</p>
</section1>

<section1 topic='How It Works' anchor='protocol'>
  <p>This section provides a friendly introduction to Jingle file transfer.</p>
  <p>First, the party that wishes to initiate the file transfer determines the responder's capabilities (via &xep0030; or &xep0115;). Here we assume that the responder supports the following service discovery features (note: these features may not reflect final namespace assignments):</p>
  <ul>
    <li>urn:xmpp:jingle:0</li>
    <li>urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:0</li>
    <li>urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:bytestreams:0</li>
    <li>urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:ibb:0</li>
  </ul>
  <p>The initiator then sends a Jingle session-initiation request to a potential responder. The content-type of the request specifies two things:</p>
  <ol>
    <li>An application type of "urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:0" &VNOTE;. In particular, the &lt;description/&gt; element contains an &lt;offer/&gt; or &lt;request/&gt; element that in turn contains a &lt;file/&gt; element qualified by the existing 'http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer' namespace from <cite>XEP-0096</cite>.</li>
    <li>An appropriate transport method. Because the existing transport methods used in <cite>XEP-0096</cite> (i.e., &xep0065; and &xep0047;) are not yet defined as Jingle transport methods, this specification registers those definitions (if this specification is approved, those definitions will be moved to <cite>XEP-0047</cite> and <cite>XEP-0065</cite>).</li>
  </ol>
  <p>In this example, the initiator is &lt;kingclaudius@shakespeare.lit&gt;, the responder is &lt;laertes@shakespeare.lit&gt;, and the initiation request specifies a file offer and a transport method of bytestreams (i.e., XEP-0065).</p>
  <p>The flow is as follows.</p>
  <code><![CDATA[
Claudius                      Laertes
   |                             |

  <section2 topic='Fallback' anchor='fallback'>
    <p>Currently, <cite>XEP-0096</cite> does not enable the parties to fall back to a second method (e.g., In-Band Bytestreams) if the first method tried (e.g., SOCKS5 Bytestreams) does not work. This problem is addressed by Jingle. Such a fallback scenario is especially helpful when re-using the existing SOCKS5 Bytestreams method, since that method does not necessarily result in NAT or firewall traversal and therefore often results in a failed attempt at setting up the initial transport. However, because In-Band Bytestreams almost always succeeds (except if the parties violate rate-limiting policies at their servers), it provides a reliable transfer method of last resort. To provide seamless fallback, the initiator or responder can counter-propose IBB if S5B setup fails.</p>
    <p>The session flow is as follows.</p>

    <p>The protocol flow is as follows.</p>
    <p>First the initiator sends a Jingle session-initiate, in this case with a transport of SOCKS5 Bytestreams.</p>

    <p>The initiator then attempts to initiate a SOCKS5 Bytestream with the responder.</p>

    <p>If the responder is willing to accept the bytestream, it MUST attempt to open a standard TCP socket on the network address of the StreamHost communicated by the initiator. If the initiator provides more than one StreamHost, the responder SHOULD try to connect to them in the order they occur.</p>
    <p>If the responder tries but is unable to connect to any of the StreamHosts and it cannot or does not wish to attempt a connection from its side, it returns a &notfound; error to the initiator.</p>

    <p>At this point the file transfer has failed using SOCKS5 Bytestreams. However, all is not lost, because the parties can attempt to fall back to In-Band Bytestreams. Therefore the initiator sends a transport-replace action including a transport of IBB.</p>
