Go to ALT+O > DCC > Folders and 'Edit' the default folder, and any other folders there if you wish.

in the edit window, at the bottom, is the "Or perform this command on them" textbox.


What commands are available to run? any syntax examples?

I'd like to have each file downloaded automatically COPY to another directory. smirk

An example might be:

/copy " $+ $1- $+ " " $+ $mircdirexample $+ "

All you'd then have to do is rename the file 'example' in your mIRC directory, or whatever directory you specified. You may like to use the ON FILERCVD event however for more flexibility (the text box in the that dialog has a character limit). See /help ON FILERCVD.

As a note, mIRC isn't a file sharing program, incase that is what you were using it for smile (We also don't help with that here).

Ok...to be more specific, can I use /copy <$1-> <C:\MyFOLDER> does it need any quotes or other syntax?

in looking through the Help file, it says to refer to the file as $1- and the /copy <filename> <filename> in the commands section of help says it can copy/append to a file or a Directory.

The quotes are there for directories with spaces in (e.g. C:\Program Files\) so I just added them because that's what I have (habit), but if the directories you'll be using do not have spaces, then you don't need to use them. You do not include the < > at all.

What does the ,$nopath($1-),") do?

It removes the path from the file name

turns this
C:\Program Files\mIRC\Download\my file.mp3

into this
my file.mp3

otherwise you would copying like this
/copy "C:\Program Files\mIRC\Download\my file.mp3" "C:\MyFOLDER\C:\Program Files\mIRC\Download\my file.mp3"

Eureka :tongue: - I was scouring the help file for that when writing my post, but gave up, I couldn't remember it for the life of me.
