 Replying to [comment:4 chinadolle]:
 > Regardless of whether the file transfer option is selected from the
 contact in the contact window or from the app top menu, the file transfer
 transaction shows an attempt to send the file with a file transfer
 progress window, the file acts as though it is sending and shows a
 progress bar that shows the transfer progress as proceeding very fast
 (Note: the file transfer time is entirely too fast, which is an indication
 when testing that the transfer is failing).  The Yahoo Messenger or other
 chat client user on the other end does not see a request to receive the
 file nor do they receive the actual file.

 What actually happens when initiating a file transfer on Yahoo whenever a
 libpurple client is involved is that the sending client actually transfers
 the file to a web server that acts as a file transfer proxy.  Once the
 upload is complete, or at least sufficiently complete to allow the
 receiver to download the file, in theory the receiver is supposed to be
 notified to start the download.  The fact that the upload is in your
 opinion too fast is immaterial to what actually happens.

 The issue here is that for some reason the receiving client isn't being
 notified about the file.
