There is an option for activating this feature. A yellow icon appears next to a name in your contact list when the feature is activated. Clicking on this icon opens up your contacts Shared Files Directory, and you can highlight files and click on a download button to download to your computer. Your contact can do the same and pull files from your Shared Files Directory to theirs. Security is still something to be considered, and there doesnt seem to be any indication when files are being downloaded from your computer. Zonealarm didnt interfere in any way, but again this needs to be looked at a bit more. First tests look good, looking forward to trying it some more.	Guest (0)
