The [`file_transfer`] event is queued when a user drags-and-drops a file on an open computer.
This event contains a single argument of type [`TransferredFiles`], which can be used to [get the files to be
transferred][`TransferredFiles.getFiles`]. Each file returned is a [binary file handle][`fs.BinaryReadHandle`] with an
additional [getName][`TransferredFile.getName`] method.
## Return values
1. [`string`]: The event name
2. [`TransferredFiles`]: The list of transferred files.
## Example
Waits for a user to drop files on top of the computer, then prints the list of files and the size of each file.
```lua
local _, files = os.pullEvent("file_transfer")
for _, file in ipairs(files.getFiles()) do
-- Seek to the end of the file to get its size, then go back to the beginning.
local size = file.seek("end")
file.seek("set", 0)
print(file.getName() .. " " .. file.getSize())
end
```
## Example
Save each transferred file to the computer's storage.
```lua
local _, files = os.pullEvent("file_transfer")
for _, file in ipairs(files.getFiles()) do
local handle = fs.open(file.getName(), "wb")
handle.write(file.readAll())
handle.close()
file.close()
end
```
