Can I transfer files with the ToolTalk service?

No, not directly. You can however:

• Place the file data in a message argument.

  The ToolTalk service copies the message data from the application into the library, from the library to ttsession, from ttsession to the receiver's library, and then out of the library when the receiver gets the argument value.If the data is large, this method can be very slow and use up a large amount of memory.

• Place the file name in a message argument.

  This method assumes that every receiver mounts the file, and mounts it at the same mount point.

• Place the file name in the tt_message_file attribute.

  This method also assumes that every receiver mounts the file; however, the ToolTalk service will resolve any mount point differences.
