Dcc

I'm making an IRC bot in Ruby, and I need it to use DCC. But after reading through the spec and studying the messages sent by irssi I'm still confused. According to Wikipedia the syntax for sending a file is:

Code:

PRIVMSG <nick> :^ADCC SEND <filename> <ip> <port> <file size>^A

But the message that gets sent when I actually try to send a file is:

Code:

PRIVMSG <nick> :^ADCC SEND bot.rb 3232236034 55433 622^A

None of these numbers correspond to any of the supposed arguments. Can anyone help?

I suspect it is converting the IP to a single 4-byte integer. The example you posted corresponds to 192.168.2.2. 55433 seems like a reasonable port for DCC use. I have no idea how big the file you are sending is, perhaps a small file at 622 bytes?

How would you go about converting the IP? And the file size is 601 bytes, not 622.

Not sure about the file size, but the IP address is something like:

3232236034/256=12625922
12625922%256=2
12625922/256=49320
49320%256=168
49320/256=192
