DCC limitations

A-1 · Post by **A-1** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 6:05 am

im looking to set our server to allow DCC sends to a specific file size. For example setting DCC sends to the server so only a 1 meg file or less can be transfered and anything over 1 meg will be not be allowed.
Just wondering if this can be done with Unreal3.2.1
Thanks

That cannot be done with the current DCC protocol. Maybe DCC2 will have a feature like that.

Liek on closer inspection, it looks like this can be done... If I am correct, the proper syntax for a DCC send CTCP is:

Code: Select all

DCC SEND <file> <longip> <port> <size>

Maybe you should go to http://bugs.unrealircd.org and post a feature suggestion.

Can it be done? Yes. Will I do it? Not sure. Why would you want to do this? Presumably, this is for some anti-warez policy. The problem is, I routinely send files that are > 1MB and they aren't warez. So going by filesize is going to cause MANY false positives. I'm just not so sure that's a very good idea.

perhaps a module is better suited for this task, if it can be done via mods
