# Send files

From the Contact List window, perform one of the following:

Right click on the contact you want to send a file to, and choose Send file.

Click on the contact you want to send a file, and choose Edit Contact Send file.

Select the file to send, and click on Send.

The File Transfers window will appear.

Wait for your contact to accept the file transfer, or click Stop to halt the transfer.

Once the transfer is finished, it is possible to close the File Transfers window.

If you have multiple finished transfers listed in the window, click on Clear to empty the list. This will only remove the files from the list and will not delete them from your computer.

It is possible to send files only using the following services: Jabber, Google Talk and People Nearby.
