I'm trying to share some files i have at home to my work's pc via SSH and IRC. I'm using irssi as a client at home, and mIRC at work.
So, sending files from work to home works just fine, but the reverse does not. I have all ports set up correctly, the home IP on Irssi set correctly as well (i'm behind a NAT), and still no dice. I just downloaded XChat for Windows, and whenever i try to send it a file it complains:

Code:

--- Received a malformed DCC request from Lys_HOME.
--- Contents of packet: DCC SEND xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ®Å‡€®Å 5025267


xxxxxxxxxx being the filename, the last number the filesize, and the middle garbage i presume the port (which i've set to 6000). Does this look like a bug to anyone? I had no luck looking for this on the net.

The irssi version i'm running is 0.8.6 (the latest available on Portage).

There is "bug" in irssi in wich if you have the "dcc_send_replace_space_with_underscore" set to ON mIRC won't be able to receive the file. This has to do with the way mIRC and irssi replace the spaces in filenames.
Me and and a friend have been toying with the irssi sourcecode for some time but came to the conclusion that the problem is on mIRC side.
I won't garantee that this is your problem, however try setting that to OFF and try resending the files to see if it works

I had it OFF, but setting it ON spitted something weirder on the XChat side:

For some reason beyond me, it works just fine if you specify the filename between " 's - i found out after i tried to send a file with spaces in it's name. Weird...
