Add a way to specify a file's local name to DCC to someone, and be able to specify the SENDING filename ie his receiving filename.

So I have mytext.txt on my computer and I do...

/dcc send mytext.txt MyFriend yourtext.txt

...well...you get the picture grin

ok, i read that a few times and im still not sure what you are asking. You can do /dcc send nick filename. Are you saying you want to send a file by the name you have it as, but by the time he gets it, its a diff file name?

you could use a copy+rename before you dcc... when triggered from a script...

else it would take 3 commands to type ;-]

"/dcc send mytext.txt MyFriend yourtext.txt"

He means make it so the person recieving the file sees it as "yourtext.txt", instead of "mytext.txt".

It could be useful in some situations I think. smile

Sure, so i could send you a trojan.vbs as naked_britney.jpg grin

If you did that it would try to open it in Paint (or the system default) which doesn't recognise and run .vbs scripts, so the virus would never execute...
