SendFile Method

Sends a file to the specified user.

Syntax

xmpp.sendFile(jabberId, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method sends the file specified by LocalFile to the user specified by the JabberId parameter.

JabberId is the intended recipient of the message. It is of the form user@domain/resource. If a resource is not supplied, all logged-in instances of the user's account will receive the message.

The class supports sending files using In-Band Bystestreams as defined in XEP-0047 and XEP-0096.
