Can Ejabberd Support Offline File Transfer?

Question

Hi,

I am working on a 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 file.

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

How can I do that?

Thanks

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).
