Description Shinda Singh 2008-01-27 17:49:49 UTC 
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It would be great if the /dccserver command could be added that functions as it does in mIRC. The command has various arguments that make it possible to connect to fserves running on alternate ports. Right now it doesn't seem possible to connect to such fserves using konversation.

It may be possible to run http://www.nih.at/dccserver/ inside a Konsole tab in Konversation.

Actually, it is possible and quite simple. I use the perl version of dccserver found in http://outflux.net/software/pkgs/dccserver/ though. You can even write a small script so you don't need to write the same arguments every time:

---

#!/bin/sh
dccserver --user YourUser --nick YourIRCNick --path /DownloadPath/ --port $1

---

Save it in your path as dccserver.sh and run it on a konsole tab like:
$dccserver.sh 6060
