Multi-IM client with file transfer
I've been trying to find the ultimate multi-IM client which supports file transfers on all protocols... Quite ambitious, I know. I haven't found one, so I'll share my experience and ask for other suggestions. I'm mainly interested in Yahoo! Messenger, GTalk and Facebook Chat.
- Messages/iChat : great, except that the Facebook Chat account doesn't support file transfers. I only get a text: <contact name> sent you an image/file if I receive and an error if I try to send.
- Adium - no file transfers whatsoever. I know they have included this in "Known Issues", that it's actually a matter of luck whether file transfer works or not...
- Trillian - no file transfers on Facebook Chat.
- Nimbuzz - no file transfers on Facebook Chat.
- Psi - no file transfers on Facebook Chat.
I have yet to try the newly launched Flamingo, but I really wouldn't like to spend $10 for it...
Is there any way I could make Messages support file transfers on Facebook Chat? It would be my first choice, as it's deeply integrated into OS X and its iMessages support. I asked this on the Facebook Community, but still no answer. I have set up the Facebook Chat account as they say on the Facebook website.
Does it have anything to do with Mavericks?
