6.4.1. TIM3

Copy attachment:TIM3.jar to anywhere you like. Double click on the icon to start the program.

6.4.2. plugins

Copy the plugin to <home>/.jbother/plugins. On Linux, <home> is your home directory. On Windhows, <home> is C:\Documents and Settings\<your windows login user name>. You can download these plugins in the plugin manager because these plugins are not part of the standard JBother.

In order to serve the files from your local computer when transferring files, port 8080 will be open for connection. Any other software occupying this port or any firewall security hiding this port will fail the FileTransfer plugin to work properly.
