<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>

<ul>
<li>Modified protocol to support sending only one file at a time (multi-file adds unnecessary complexity).</li>
<li>Removed &lt;request/&gt; flow in favor of a dedicated protocol similar to XEP-0137 ("jingle-pub").</li>
<li>Removed &lt;offer/&gt; wrapper since it is no longer necessary (with the removal of the request flow).</li>
<li>Removed the &lt;abort/&gt; element since it was related to the transfer of multiple files.</li>
<li>Changed &lt;candidate-used/&gt; to &gt;remote-candidate/&gt; for consistency with XEP-0176.</li>
<li>Added media-type child to &lt;file/&gt; element.</li>
<li>Added example for communicating empty &lt;hash/&gt; element in the session-initiate message.</li>
<li>Incremented namespace version from 3 to 4.</li>

<p>To overcome these drawbacks, this specification defines a file transfer negotiation method that meets the following requirements:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the session negotiation semantics from <cite>XEP-0166</cite>.</li>
<li>Use &xep0260; and &xep0261;.</li>
<li>Define a file description format that, unlike <cite>XEP-0096</cite> enables hash agility (via &xep0300;).</li>
<li>Use &xep0260; and &xep0261; as transport methods.</li>
<li>Define a file description format that, unlike <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, enables hash agility (via &xep0300;).</li>
<li>Define a clear upgrade path from SI File Transfer to Jingle File Transfer.</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 as a fallback mechanism In-Band Bytestreams ("IBB"), which usually results in a successful (if slow) file transfer.</p>
<p>Note: It is likely that 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;); however, a future Jingle ICE-TCP transport method is dependent on the outcome of IETF work in this area.</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:</p>
<ul>
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:1 as described in <cite>XEP-0166</cite></li>
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:3 as defined in this document &NSVER;</li>
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:4 as defined in this document &NSVER;</li>
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:s5b:1 as defined in <cite>XEP-0260</cite></li>
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:ibb:1 as defined in <cite>XEP-0261</cite></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:3". In particular, the &lt;description/&gt; element contains an &lt;offer/&gt; element or a &lt;request/&gt; element that in turn contains one or more &lt;file/&gt; elements defining a file to be sent.</li>
<li>An application type of "urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:4". In particular, the &lt;description/&gt; element contains a &lt;file/&gt; elements describing the file to be sent.</li>
<li>An appropriate transport method. So far the suggested methods are jingle-s5b (<cite>XEP-0260</cite>) and, as a fallback, jingle-ibb (<cite>XEP-0261</cite>).</li>
</ol>
<p>Note: All attributes of the &lt;file/&gt; element are defined in <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, not in this specification.</p>
<p>In this example, the initiator is &lt;romeo@montague.lit&gt;, the responder is &lt;juliet@capulet.lit&gt;, the application type is a file offer, and the transport method is jingle-s5b.</p>
<p>The flow is as follows.</p>

This is done by sending a session-info message containing a &lt;checksum/&gt; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:3' namespace, which in turn contains a &lt;file/&gt; element that MUST at least contain a child element of &lt;hash/&gt; qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:hashes:1' namespace and MAY contain other elements qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:3' namespace (e.g. &lt;name/&gt; and &lt;date/&gt;). Each &lt;hash/&gt; element contains a checksum of the file contents produced in accordance with the hashing function specified by the 'algo' attribute, which MUST be one of the functions listed in the &ianahashes;.</p>

<p>It is RECOMMENDED for implementations to use the strongest hashing algorithm available to both parties. See XEP-0300 for further discussion.</p>
