Hi, i'm wondering why if I do in a script the command:

/dcc send 80.49.*.* c:\file.ext

It doesn't works.. it open the dcc send dialog correctly, but it seems not to resolve anything and then in mirc, in the status, it puts out this:

DCC Send to 80.49.*.* incomplete (connection failed)

The ip is correct (here I've obscured the last 2 ip numbers..), why it doesn't works??

When used with a nickname, /dcc send nick c:\file.ext works fine, because mIRC knows how to be in touch with the given nick, and tell him "hey, I want to send you a file".
Now if you want to use an IP address, you have to specify both IP *and* port. mIRC's help file quote :

Code:
Note: If you want to connect to someone else's DCC Server you can specify an IP Address and port instead of the nickname, eg. /dcc send ipaddress:port


It actually works only if the person on the other side is running a DCC send server (in mIRC's options)
