If the user has a public, i. e. internet-routable IP address, everything is fine, even if it is not static. However, if the user sits behind a NAT or something similar that blocks incoming connections, a third party certainly is required (such as a file transfer proxy for XMPP). Lacking more information from the OP, speculation is all I can do, though.
