Comment 2 for bug 528489

Thanks for taking time to report this bug and make ubuntu better. The problem you are reporting in my opinion is not a but. Empathy/Telepathy at the moment does not support file transfer and desktop sharing for that matter. Only if the other user is using Empathy/Pidgin you can send files. So I am marking this invalid. for further info see this page http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Protocols%20Support
