Send file

Send a file

TurboIRC enables you to transfer files with other chat users .

Select the nick that you wish to give you the file . Select also a file name . You must select now a protocol to transfer a file .

DCC protocol is supported by all IRC clients , but it is slow
TDCC protocol is faster , but as the time of this writing , from the most known clients , only PIRCH and VIRC supports the TDCC
KTP protocol is the fastest if you plan to transfer files to a large distance . For example , if you are in europe and you establish a DCC with australia , 1 MB can take up to an hour ! For these situations , use the KTP protocol . ONLY TurboIRC can SEND files with KTP , but any client that can handle events can ACCEPT files with KTP . See the KTP details for more .

Using file transfers requires the knowledge of the following :

A user may not accept a send file request
Using DCC and TDCC transfers makes your IP address visible to the receipient .
It is your responsibility , when sending with KTP , to ensure that the mail returned is valid .

TurboIRC has the ability to continue sending a file that it was previously sent with failure . See Resuming broken files .

The send dialog box is automatically shown when you drag & drop a file to a Query Window , or to a list box of a Channel Window .
