You should repeat the process. Send the same file to the same recipient again and see what happens.

I tend not to use Skype to send large files. I prefer services like Yousendit or Megaupload.

Skype warning | confirmed my doubts!

Hi Patricia,

You have confirmed my doubtful incident!

Last week, I got a pdf file from one client in Ireland. Which teases me is "How is the file received without accepting it?"

There was a message says" File is received". When I asked my client in Ireland if she has just sent me a pdf file 2 minutes before. She replied that she didn't send anything.

I am using Win XP Pro and skype 4.0.0

Hope we could get an explanation!

Hi Mohamed,

I have Skype version 3.8.0139 and am on XP Pro.

Did a thorough check last night - no bugs, no thugs, no virus, nothing, the computer is clean.

I don't get it. Hope Skype's tech support can figure it out.

Hi all,

A very strange thing just happened with Skype and I thought it wise to post it here.

I sent my husband a PDF file, and he received two files at the same time: the PDF file I'd uploaded, and a work file that is on another drive on my computer.

On my side, Skype shows I have sent my one PDF file, period.

I've emailed tech support and will let you know if/when they answer.

For those of you who use Skype to send files or, gasp, send money, be careful...

Very strange indeed Patricia ! Can you tell us which version you have ? Is it the last version ?

Which kind of OS do you have ? XP, Vista, Linux ?

Thanks

Moh
