you should call _FileTransferManager.getInstanceFor(connection)_

method. The userID you provide to this method is the fully-qualified jabber ID

the **_FileTransfer_** class which provides several methods to monitor how a
file transfer is progressing:
* **getStatus()** - The file transfer can be in several states, negotiating, rejected, canceled, in progress, error, and complete. This method will return which state the file transfer is currently in.
* **getProgress()** - if the status of the file transfer is in progress this method will return a number between 0 and 1, 0 being the transfer has not yet started and 1 being the transfer is complete. It may also return a -1 if the transfer is not in progress.
* **getStatus()** - The file transfer can be in several states, negotiating, rejected, cancelled, in progress, error, and complete. This method will return which state the file transfer is currently in.
* **getProgress()** - If the status of the file transfer is in progress this method will return a number between 0 and 1, 0 being the transfer has not yet started and 1 being the transfer is complete. It may also return a -1 if the transfer is not in progress.
* **isDone()** - Similar to getProgress() except it returns a _boolean_. If the state is rejected, canceled, error, or complete then true will be returned and false otherwise.
* **getError()** - If there is an error during the file transfer this method will return the type of error that occured. **Examples**
* **getError()** - If there is an error during the file transfer this method will return the type of error that occured.

In this example we can see how to monitor a file transfer:

if (transfer.getStatus().equals(Status.error)) {
System.out.println("ERROR!!! " + transfer.getError());
