Bonjour File Sharing

iChat includes a very cool component called Bonjour. While iChat requires the Internet to connect users, Bonjour uses your local network. Bonjour detects other computers on the network that use Mac OS X and automatically connects to them when iChat is open. This is really handy for quickly transferring files across the room or to an associate who works in another department.

Bonjour file sharing works exactly like the iChat file sharing described on the previous pages:

1.	Open iChat.
2.	From the Window menu, choose "Bonjour."
3.	Drag a file (or a folder of files) on top of a name in the list (as shown below).

The same alert message and Incoming File Transfer window shown on the previous pages appear so the recipient can accept or decline the file being sent.
