Sunt destule persoane au inceput sa foloseasca pentru transferul de fisiere prin YM! pluginul de sharing Pando. Au si motive! Cateva din avantajele utilizarii lui:
– transfer de fisiere / foldere pana la 1GB
– posibilitatea de a vedea viteza de download/upload (bandwidth) a pachetelor.
– permite intreruperea temporara a transferului (pause)
– transferul poate fi reluat din punctul in care a ramas daca este pierduta conexiune la Internet. (resume)
– redirectionare pachete . … (forward) etc, etc si mai multe detalii pe site-ul lor.
Pana aici totul este OK, daca nu ai un id de YM! care sa contina punct (.). Cu un ID de forma nume.prenume sau tralala.blala (asta.mi-a.venit.in.minte.acum :D) , poti folosi pluginul numai pentru a trimite fisiere , fiind imposibil (cel putin momentan) pentru cineva sa-ti trimita. Pando nu permite transferul de fisiere catre id-urile care contin “.” punct. Super fain! Nu vrea el sa mearga . `draci pe el …ppffff… Din cate am observat pe site-ul oficial al Pando nu este specificat nimic despre acesta problema (bug?). Probabil sunt destul de putini cei care folosesc id-uri cu punct si versiunea pentru YM! a pluginului nu a fost testata pentru toate formele de caractere permise de YAHOO! la id-uri.
Problema transferului (incoming) in aceasta situatie este destul simpla. Din cate am observat Pando nu are nici o treaba cu sistemul de login de la YAHOO! . Este un softulet de sharing care identifica IP-urile din spatele id-urilor facand posibil transferul de date intre ele.
M-am logat pe un ID fara punct si am inceput sa primesc fisiere prin pando fara probleme. Odata pornit transferul , mi-am dat logout si am intrat pe ID-ul meu normal (cel cu punct).
Transferul a continuat fara probleme . :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.
