======Synopsis:======
[[dcc]] send [=]<nick> [-p <port>] <file> [<file> ...] 

======Description:======
Sometimes you want to share a file with another person on irc.  The [[DCC]]
__SEND__ command sends an offer to share to another person. The remote client
must of course open the connection before the file transfer will begin.

You can use [[DCC]] SEND on a [[DCC]] [[DCC CHAT|CHAT]] target; just prefix the
[[DCC CHAT]] targets nickname with an equals sign.  This is faster, since the
handshake doesn't have to go over an irc network, too.

You can offer more than one file at a time.

If the -p flag is present you may specify the port that the client
should use for the connection.

======Security Considerations:======
A [[DCC]] SEND provides the recipient with the client's IP address. On networks
which hide this information, this provides a potential way for an attacker to
obtain the client's IP address through social engineering.

======Examples:======
To send a file to joebob:
      /dcc send joebob somefile

To send a file to joebob using port 1234:
      /dcc send joebob -p 1234 somefile
