DCCSEND(1)

NAME
dccsend - send a file to a mIRC /dccserver

SYNOPSIS
dccsend [-hv] [-n nickname] [-p port] [-r remotenick] host filename

DESCRIPTION
dccsend sends a file to remote host running a mIRC /dccserver or dccserver(1). The host argument specifies the name or IP of the server where dccserver(1) is running, and the filename argument denotes the name of the local file to send to the remote host. You can get the hostname or IP of a fellow IRCer by doing “/whois remotenick”, the first line will probably contain “user@example.org” or “user@127.0.0.1”.

Supported options:

-h  Display a short help message.

-n nickname
    Set nickname used in handshake to nickname. Should be the same nickname that you use on IRC, otherwise some servers might complain and close the connection. Defaults to “dccsend”.

-p port
    Denote port on which the remote dccserver(1) is listening. Defaults to 59, since that is mIRC's default port.

-r remotenick
    Expected nickname on the remote side.

-v  Display program name and version number.

EXAMPLES
Typical usage:

    dccsend -n yournick example.org /path/to/file

There are no timeouts, just interrupt and try again. The protocol supports resuming automatically.
