This will load the standard Windows dialogue with the "Open" option, where you need to select the file you wish to send, and press "Open". If the user is allowed to receive files they will receive the request and will be prompted to save the file (all files need to be accepted before saving). The "File" window will be opened on your screen, as shown on pic #31, and in the additional information panel of the OnLAN Messenger main window, you will see the following message:  Pic #31. If the recipient refuses to accept the file, the "File" window will be closed and you will receive a notification of this fact. See pic #32.  Pic #32.
