DCC would require additional config setting for originating and accepting SSL. i.e. reject non-SSL, originate SSL but fall back if the receiver does not support it, etc. Actually, it would be nice if we had the option to start all server connections with SSL and fall back if it isn't supported. Yes, this could be done with a script, but it seems worthwhile for the options dialog. Last edited by BrunoJ; 19/09/05 05:55 PM.
