<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; was the original XMPP protocol extension for file transfer negotiation. 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 re-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>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>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>
|
|
</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:</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: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 <description/> element contains an <offer/> element or a <request/> element that in turn contains one or more <file/> elements defining a 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 <file/> element are defined in <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, not in this specification.</p>
|
|
<p>In this example, the initiator is <romeo@montague.lit>, the responder is <juliet@capulet.lit>, the application type is a file offer, and the transport method is jingle-s5b.</p>
|
|
<p>The flow is as follows.</p>

<p>Note: As in <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, inclusion of the <range/> child of the <file/> element indicates that the initiatior supports ranged transfers as described below under <link url='#range'>Ranged Transfers</link>.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: Computing the hash of the file before sending it can slow down the process of file transfer, since the sending application needs to process the file twice. The sender might prefer to send the hash after the file transfer has begun, using a transport-info message as described under <link url='#hash'>Communicating the Hash</link>.</p>

<p>The responder immediately acknowledges receipt of the Jingle session-initiate.</p>

<p>The initiator then attempts to initiate a SOCKS5 Bytestream with the responder as described in <cite>XEP-0260</cite> and <cite>XEP-0065</cite>.

<section1 topic='Communicating the Hash' anchor='hash'>
|
|
<p>At any time during the lifetime of the file transfer session, the hosting entity (i.e., the entity where the file resides) can communicate the checksum of the file to the receiving entity. This is done by sending a session-info message containing a <checksum/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:3' namespace, which in turn contains a <file/> element that MUST at least contain a child element of <hash/> 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. <name/> and <date/>). Each <hash/> 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>If the entity that hosts a file has advertised its existence (or if a previous file transfer attempt has failed and the receiver would like to initiate another attempt), the entity that wishes to receive the file can "pull" the file from the hosting entity.

<p>The parties would then complete a session negotiation flow similar to that outlined above for offering a file.</p>
|
|
<p>Note: If the requesting entity knows the hash of the file, it can include only that metadata in its request. If not, the requesting entity needs to include enough metadata to uniquely identify the file, such as the date, name, and size. For similar considerations, see &rfc5547;.</p>

<section1 topic='Ranged Transfers' anchor='range'>
|
|
<p>As in <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, a transfer can include only part of a file (e.g., to restart delivery of a truncated transfer session at a point other than the start of the file). This is done using the <range/> element from <cite>XEP-0096</cite>. The usage is illustrated in the following examples.</p>
|
|
<p>Let us imagine that the parties negotiate a file transfer session using, say, In-Band Bytestreams. During the transfer, the recipient goes offline unexpectedly and IBB stanzas from the sender to the recipient begin to bounce. When the recipient comes back online, the recipient could initiate a new Jingle session (to retrieve the file) and specify that it wants to receive all chunks after byte 270336 (which might be the 66th chunk of size 4096).</p>
