Description

TpFileTransferChannel is a sub-class of TpChannel providing convenient API to send and receive files.

The channel properties are available in "date", "description", "filename", "initial-offset", "mime-type", "size", "state", and "transferred-bytes" GObject properties, with accessor functions too.

To send a file to a contact, one should create a File Transfer channel with the appropriate D-Bus properties set by specifying their values in the channel creation method call. The file transfer invitation will be sent to the remote contact when the channel is created. For example:

Once a TpFileTransferChannel is created as a proxy to the channel on D-Bus. The "notify::state" GObject signals on the resulting channel should be monitored; when the channel moves to state TP_FILE_TRANSFER_STATE_ACCEPTED, tp_file_transfer_channel_provide_file_async() should be called.

When an incoming File Transfer channel appears, one should call tp_file_transfer_channel_accept_file_async().

To cancel or reject a pending or ongoing file transfer, one should close the channel using tp_channel_close_async().

Provide a file transfer. This should be called when the file transfer state changes (tp_file_transfer_channel_get_state() and the "notify::state" signal) to TP_FILE_TRANSFER_STATE_ACCEPTED or TP_FILE_TRANSFER_STATE_PENDING. Once the file has been provided, the channel "state" will change to TP_FILE_TRANSFER_STATE_OPEN.

Once the file has been provided, callback will be called. You should then call tp_file_transfer_channel_provide_file_finish() to get the result of the operation.

self :

Finishes a call to tp_file_transfer_channel_provide_file_async().

Successful return from this function does not mean that the file transfer has completed or has even started at all. The state of the file transfer should be monitored with the "notify::state" signal.

self :

a TpFileTransferChannel

result :

a GAsyncResult

error :

a GError to fill

Returns :

TRUE if the file has been successfully provided, or FALSE.

Property Details

The "date" property

  "date"                     GDateTime*            : Read

A GDateTime representing the last modification time of the file to be transferred.

Since 0.15.5


The "description" property

  "description"              gchar*                : Read

The description of the file transfer, defined by the sender when sending the file transfer offer.

Since 0.15.5

Default value: NULL


The "file" property

  "file"                     GFile*                : Read

For incoming file transfers, this property will be set to a GFile for the location where the file will be saved (given by tp_file_transfer_channel_accept_file_async()) when the transfer starts. The feature TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE must already be prepared for this property to have a meaningful value, and to receive change notification. Once the initial value is set, this property will not be changed.

For outgoing file transfers, this property is a GFile for the location of the file being sent (given by tp_file_transfer_channel_provide_file_async()). The feature TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE does not have to be prepared and there is no change notification.

Since 0.17.1


The "filename" property

  "filename"                 gchar*                : Read

The name of the file on the sender's side. This is therefore given as a suggested filename for the receiver.

Since 0.15.5

Default value: NULL


The "initial-offset" property

  "initial-offset"           guint64               : Read

The offset in bytes from where the file should be sent.

The TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE feature has to be prepared for this property to be meaningful and kept up to date.

Default value: 0

Since 0.17.1


The "metadata" property

  "metadata"                 GHashTable_gchararray+GStrv_*  : Read

Additional information about the file transfer set by the channel initiator, or an empty GHashTable if the initiator did not provide any additional information.

To provide metadata along with a file offer, include TP_PROP_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_FILE_TRANSFER_METADATA_METADATA in the channel request. For example:

The TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE feature has to be prepared for this property to be meaningful.

Since 0.17.1


The "mime-type" property

  "mime-type"                gchar*                : Read

The MIME type of the file to be transferred.

Default value: NULL

Since 0.15.5


The "service-name" property

  "service-name"             gchar*                : Read

A string representing the name of the service suggested to handle this file transfer channel, or NULL if the initiator did not provide one.

This is a useful way of requesting file transfer channels with a hint of what handler they should be handled by on the remote side. If a channel request is made with this property set (to a contact who also supports the metadata extension; see the requestable channel classes for said contact), this property will be set to the same value on the remote incoming channel and handlers can match on this in their handler filter. For example, a remote handler could call the following:

The TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE feature has to be prepared for this property to be meaningful.

Default value: ""

Since 0.17.1


The "size" property

  "size"                     guint64               : Read

The size of the file to be transferred, or G_MAXUINT64 if not known.

Since 0.15.5

Default value: 0


The "state" property

  "state"                    guint                 : Read

A TpFileTransferState holding the state of the file transfer.

The TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE feature has to be prepared for this property to be meaningful and kept up to date.

Since 0.17.1

Allowed values: <= 6

Default value: 0


The "transferred-bytes" property

  "transferred-bytes"        guint64               : Read

The number of bytes transferred so far in this file transfer.

The TP_FILE_TRANSFER_CHANNEL_FEATURE_CORE feature has to be prepared for this property to be meaningful and kept up to date.

Default value: 0

Since 0.15.5
