    Hello,

    I have Pidgin 2.11.0 (libpurple 2.11.0) with SIPE 1.21.1 (SSPI). I can log in, add friends, chat with them, etc. But file trasfer does not work in any way. I receive "incoming file transfer request", and after accepting it, the trasfter timeouts and fails.

    Are there any particular settings about the file transfer I need to check?

    We use Skype For business, or Lync 2013 in the company. I'm aware there is new protocol used, but it seems to be supported since SIPE 1.20 plugin.

    You didn't provide a debug log, so I have to take a guess...

    As you use SIPE on Windows it is highly unlikely that the new Lync FT protocol is in use.

    If the old FT protocol works in one direction (send) but not the other (receive) then the most likely cause is a firewall. You'll need to allow incoming TCP connections on ports 6891..6901.

    I also have this issue - I opened the incoming ports, but it doesn't work. How do I provide a debug log?
