What does Skype have to do with transferring files?

If you want to transfer a file to another machine, use ftp or scp or email, depending on your access on the remote machine.

I made 3 suggestions. You said 2 of them don't work. What does that leave you?

In order to transfer a file to another machine, that machine needs to allow you to do it. Find out what that machine allows you to do and do it.

You need to develop a protocol that both ends understand.

Take a look at come of the internet protocols that transfer files, e.g., POP3, NNTP, and look at the source code for programs that use those protocols.

You can find a shell script that acts as a POP3 client in my article, POP3 mail filtering and retrieval with bash, and an HTTP client at http://cfaj.freeshell.org/shell/scripts/httpClient-sh.

munna_dude, I am not sure what you want to do...

Why don't you use an instant messanger like GAIM? Or Gabber? Or even aMSN?

Or you want to write your own "messanger"?
