Though I would indeed like direct file transfer for more usual purposes in other chat clients. Would be great with Matrix/Element.

- weberer 3y agoYou connect to a server, not a peer. Your client does no uploading.
- Avamander 3y agoThe client receiving will connect to the one sharing the file. Routing the data through the IRC network would be unreasonable. This reveals your IP, which is kinda bad. https://www.tg007.net/archive/tutorials/showdocca03.html https://www.tg007.net/archive/tutorials/showdocca03.html
