Does ejabberd support offline file transfers? [closed]

Question

I am working on an XMPP client, using ejabberd as server. My question is how can I support offline file transferring?

I only want to do the offline file transferring for image files.

For example, I can transfer an image to John even if he is offline. When John comes back online, the server will send him the image.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

There is currently no extension for XMPP to allow offline file transfers.

Presumably this would need to be supported by the recipient's server, and it would need to be implemented as a server-specific plugin.

Alternatively a project that may be of interest to you is Jabber Disk, which allows you to upload a file via XMPP, and then returns a HTTP URL you can send to people (for example as an offline message).
