Sending and receiving files
Send file
To send a file, open a conversation window with the desired recipient and click the "File" button.
Select the files you want to send and click "Open" — the recipient will be sent an invitation to accept the files.
You can select several files to be transferred at once by holding down the Ctrl button while clicking on the files.
After the recipient accepts the file transfer it begins automatically.
You can cancel the transfer until the recipient accepts it. To do this, click "Cancel the transfer". To cancel the file transfer once it has begun, click "Stop".

Accept file
As soon as somebody decides to send you a file, ICQ will display an appropriate message, and a
"Diskette" icon will flash next to the sender's name. 
Switch to the conversation with the sender — the window will display the list of files that the sender is inviting you to accept, the total size of the files, and a list of actions.
If you want to accept the files, click "Accept"; if not, then click "Decline". If you want to specify where the files will be saved, click "Save as…".

If you accept the file, the file transfer will begin immediately. You can cancel a file transfer in progres by clicking "Stop". The time remaining to complete the file transfer is displayed above the message about the transfer.

As soon as the files have been transferred, click "Open folder" to view them.
Note that you should never accept files from unknown senders or if you have doubts about the safety of the files being sent.
