Help with Gaim Messenger


I just installed the new version of Gaim Messenger, it seems very good, although I am having problems with one issue -
After reading on the site it says it supports file transfer, but I cant find either of these two options. -

How do I specify the folder that a file recieved will go into?

How do I disable file transfer all together?

I like file transfer, but sometimes the security aspects of of it worry me, and knowing these two things are usefull in order to control what is happening with it.
Anyone know if these things can be defined, or alternativly if there is another IM that allows you to do this?

Thanks

What protocol are you using? Because if you need file transfer and use MSN protocol, amsn beats gaim hands down:
