Setting mirc to automatically accept all file transfers downloads

Do the same for the mirc. Unless specified otherwise mIRC uses the mirc. Copy mirc. Also, make an icon called mIRC2, and use that to start the second copy. The -i startup line parameter tells mIRC to use the file after it as ini file. If you want to place the mirc. You can now startup both exe's and configure them independently Nice huh?

You don't have to rename and or copy the mirc BUT you still have to create 2 shortcuts with unique mirc. Don't forget that :- Return to the table of contents. And what it does and doesn't do. If you change nick, you will remain invisible under your new nick.

Nobody can detect your changing from invisible to visible or vice versa. When you're invisible, you are always visible to all the people who are on the same channel s as you are.

When you join a new channel while invisible , everyone in the channel sees you joining. Also, leaves are NOT hidden. So, what's the point of this "invisibility" capability? If they scan channels by actually joining them, then invisibility won't help you. To get rid of annoying people: first make yourself invisible Already available in mIRC before version 3. In version 4. With this command you can for instance play wav's and midi files to alert you when your friends join IRC or when people get kicked or whatever else.

You can 'program' these events in mIRC's remote section. As you see in the play request an action text may be specified which will display on the other side.

I have to stress that the actual wav or midi file is NOT sent to the other party. We dont want to stuff the net with data you know :- The command just triggers playing of the sound file at your and somebody elses machine. So make sure that the other party has the file you want to start. This command currently only works in between mIRC users and people using compatible clients!

The message will show as an action to the recievers and both you and they will hear the wav you selected. You can easily surf the web with your friends and exchange addresses of the best pages you find.

You can also send one or more URL's to the channels you are on or to any private conversation you are in by the URL window popup menu. Popup menus are activated by the right mouse button!! You can store URL's for future reference and set them in any order you want by the use of markers.

Newly found items are appended to the end of your URL list with the '? When the marker for a URL is changed to something else it is sorted into the permanent list. Also a new string is created which represents the page your Netscape currently shows. Also fill in the place where your www browser can be found. From that moment on mIRC will find and store all www addresses passing by on the channels you are in.

Once you start to use the URL catcher you'll get the grip of it Have fun! Lets first explain that there are 2 sorts of fingering on IRC. First there is the IRC finger that almost all clients can handle. The reply you will get to this CTCP command is usually a one liner set by the user you do the finger on. The other finger command comes from the finger system familiar to UNIX users. On UNIX systems you can finger the address of another user to find out some more about that person.

Normally this fingering will give you the persons home address, telephone number or other usefull info. This info is given to you by a central finger server and you need a finger client to get it. If you specify a users address, mIRC will try to get some info on the person at the other end. If you specify a nickname mIRC will try to find out that users address and finger it. Mind the syntax difference from the IRC finger command!!

In the newest mIRC, a finger server is built in to enable you to provide finger info even if your school, provider or company doesn't maintain a central finger server. You also have to provide a text file with the info you want to give. This file should meet a certain syntax as explained in mIRC's help file.

You open the server window to someone, it's a special DCC chat window , restricting them to a certain directory tree, and they can browse your file listings, change directories, read text files, or get files. The other person will have access to his homedir and all dirs DOWN in the directory tree from that homedir on.

It's optional. Typing help in the file server will show the available commands, which are styled after Unix and DOS. Safety risks are none or minimal due to the major restricting of available commands. You can't set up a server to your own mIRC!! So, others have to test your server!! It is fun indeed! Read and study section 7. It is not meant to be a plug and play solution ;o Return to the table of contents. This can be prevented by establishing a security system such as a "firewall" or "proxy".

A firewall usually consists of a UNIX machine that is placed between your PC and the Internet, and all traffic between you and the Internet must pass through that machine. The problem is that most firewalls also block your possibilities to use IRC. Normally spoken firewalls block all IRC traffic and access to an IRC server, unless specific precautions are made and a Socks compliant firewall is used.

If your provider or employer uses a Socks compliant firewall that blocks your IRC access you can set mIRC to connect to the firewall to reach the outside world. Your provider or employer should be able to provide you with the necessary settings. If someone tries to send you a file that already exists in your get directory then you will be shown a warning that the file exists. You then have the option to either overwrite the file, resume the transfer, or rename the file. If you choose to overwrite the file then the whole file will be downloaded from the beginning and any existing file of the same name is erased.

If you select resume then mIRC will attempt to negotiate a transfer resume to get the remaining part of the file. In the case where you have turned on the Auto-get file option, and you already have a file of the same name in your download folder, you have the option of mIRC popping up a dialog to ask if you want to accept the file, or to automatically resume or overwrite the existing file.

Trusted Users. This section allows you to add a list of trusted nicknames, addresses, or user levels, from which mIRC will automatically accept dcc sends. If you append :network to the address, where network is the network name, it will make the trust item network-specific. This option determines how mIRC behaves if someone sends you a chat request.

By default, mIRC will pop up a dialog asking you if you would like to accept the chat request, however you can make mIRC automatically accept the chat request, or just ignore all incoming chat requests. When a file transfer is completed, or a chat session ends, you can make mIRC close the window automatically, as well as beep to audibly indicate the end of a dcc session. The beep options depend on the settings in the Event Beeps dialog. Joined: Dec This is the command line equivalent of setting the DCC Send request radio buttons in the dcc options dialog.

Please consider using the trusted user option, it allows you to add a list of trusted nicknames, addresses, or user levels, from which mIRC will automatically accept dcc sends.

The ability to Send and Receive files is one of the most useful features of mIRC since it allows you to share all kinds of information with other people on IRC. Warning: If you have never shared files before, please read the Accepting Files on IRC section so as to be aware of the dangers of accepting files from others before you start.

DCC Send allows you to send a file to another user. You can then enter the nickname of the user, select the file you want to send, and click on the Send button. The user then has to accept your send request, at which point the file transfer will begin.
