There are enough people have started to use for the transfer of files through YM! Sharing plugin Pando. They have reasons! Some of the benefits of using it:
– Transfer of files / folders to 1GB
– the possibility to see the download/upload speed (bandwidth) of packages.
– Allows temporary interruption of transfer (pause)
– The transfer can be resumed from the point where it has remained if the internet connection is lost.(resume)
– Redirection packages. … (forward) etc, etc and more details on their site.
So far everything is ok, if you do not have a YM ID! to contain point (.). With a form of form name or Tralala.Blala (This.mo.mo.in.If. You can use the plugin only to send files , being impossible (at least for the moment) for someone to send you. Pando does not allow file transfer to IDs containing “.” point. Super Fain! He doesn't want to go. Hell on him …ppffff… From what I noticed on the official website of Pando, nothing is specified about this problem (bug?). There are probably quite a few people who use the IDs with a point and the version for YM! of the plugin has not been tested for all forms of characters allowed by Yahoo! to IDs.
The problem of transfer (incoming) in this situation is quite simple. From what I noticed Pando has no job with the login system from YAHOO! . It's a The Softulet de Sharing which identifies the IPs behind the IDs, making it possible to transfer the data between them.
I logged in a point without point and I started receiving files through Pando without problems. Once the transfer started, I gave my logout and entered my normal ID (the one by point).
The transfer continued without problems. : D.
Sending files and folders
To Yahoo! Messenger contacts:
- Click the send new button in the Pando section of Yahoo! Messenger. A drawer slides out.
- Drag and drop contacts into the To: field, or click the To: button and select a contact from the window that opens. Contacts need to be online and have the Pando Yahoo! Messenger Plug-in installed. (Note: Yahoo! Messenger will know if your contact has the plug-in installed and, if not, whether your contact is using a version of Yahoo! Messenger that will work with the plug-in. Spooky, huh? You can invite your contact to install the plug-in. Click the down arrow next to Pando in the Yahoo! Messenger plug-in section. Choose Send Plug-in to a Contact.)
- Add files and folders by dragging and dropping them onto the Send window. If you aren’t sending folders, you can easily navigate to individual files by clicking the Add button.
- Give the Package (that’s the Pando name for this group of files and folders you’re sending) a name. If you also want to add a description, click on the Package Name link.
- Click Send. Stay online until the progress bar shows that you’re done sending. Your recipient will get a pop-up message announcing their new Package, and you’ll get a pop-up saying that it was delivered. Your recipients have 14 days to download the Package.
Receiving Packages
When someone sends you a Pando Package, you’ll get a popup notice from Yahoo! Messenger.
- The Info button will tell you the name of the Package, the file size and a description if the sender entered one.
- Click Download. You’ll get a progress bar. Or…
Click Later to put off downloading it. When you want it, click the received button. It will stay on that list and be available for downloading for 14 days. Or…
Click No Thanks. The Package will go away and not show up on any lists.- If you clicked Download, the files or folders are downloaded to a folder called My Pando Packages in your My Documents folder. When the Package finishes downloading, click the Open button. Single files should open in the appropriate application. If you downloaded a folder or multiple files, a window will open showing the contents.
A Pando Package can be downloaded for 14 days from the last time it was sent or forwarded. If you wait longer than that to try and download one, you may get a notice that the Package has expired. Pando will try and find a copy of the Package still available on the network but, if that fails, you will have to ask the sender to resend it.
