<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>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 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 XEP-0166</li>
|
|
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:1 as defined in this document &NSVER;</li>
|
|
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:s5b:1 as defined in &xep0260;</li>
|
|
<li>urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:ibb:0 as defined in &xep0261;</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:1". In particular, the <description/> element contains an <offer/> or <request/> element that in turn contains a <file/> 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. 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 XEP-0096, 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>At any time during the lifetime of the file transfer session, the hosting entity can communicate the hash of the file to the receiving entity. This is done by sending a session-info message containing a <hash/> element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:info:1' namespace. The XML character data of this <hash/> element has the same meaning as the 'hash' attribute of the <file/> element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/si/profile/file-transfer' namespace from <cite>XEP-0096</cite>; that is, it is 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;. For historical reasons and for backward-compatibility with <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, the 'algo' attribute defaults to a value of "md5".</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. This is done by sending a Jingle session-initiate to the hosting entity, including a &DESCRIPTION; element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:1' namespace and containing a <request/> element that defines the requested file.</p>

<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, then 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>

<p>Alternatively, the sender could initiate a new file transfer, indicating that it supports ranged transfers, and in the Jingle session-accept message the receiver could indicate that it wants the transfer to begin at the specified offset.</p>

<section2 topic='Mandatory to Implement Technologies' anchor='impl-mti'>
|
|
<p>All implementations MUST support the Jingle In-Band Bytestreams Transport Method (<cite>XEP-0261</cite>) as a reliable method of last resort. An implementation SHOULD support other transport methods as well, especially the Jingle SOCKS5 Bytestreams Transport Method (<cite>XEP-0260</cite>).</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Preference Order of Transport Methods' anchor='impl-pref'>
|
|
<p>An application MAY present transport methods in any order, except that the Jingle In-Band Bytestreams Transport Method MUST be the lowest preference.</p>
|
|
</section2>
|
|
<section2 topic='Migration from XEP-0096' anchor='impl-migration'>
|
|
<p>Support for Jingle file transfer can be determined through discovery of the 'urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:file-transfer:1' namespace &VNOTE;, via either service discovery (<cite>XEP-0030</cite>) or entity capabilities (<cite>XEP-0115</cite>). If the initiator knows that the responder supports Jingle file transfer, it SHOULD first attempt negotiation using Jingle rather than SI.</p>

|
<section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
|
|
<p>For historical reasons and for backward-compatibility with XEP-0096, the hashing algorithm used in computing the file checksum defaults to MD5. It is RECOMMENDED for implementations to use stronger hashing algorithms.</p>
|
|
<p>In order to secure the data stream, implementations SHOULD use encryption methods appropriate to the transport method being used. For example, end-to-end encryption can be negotiated over either SOCKS5 Bytestreams or In-Band Bytestreams as described in <cite>XEP-0260</cite> and <cite>XEP-0261</cite>.</p>
|
|
<p>Refer to <cite>XEP-0047</cite>, <cite>XEP-0065</cite>, <cite>XEP-0096</cite>, <cite>XEP-0260</cite>, and <cite>XEP-0261</cite> for related security considerations.</p>
