I have noticed on most Pirch pages that show how to send files that only one way is shown, usually the way that the person that made the page uses. There isn't anything wrong with that but not all people have their Prefs set up the same way. I am going to show you how to send both ways, then you can make your own choice as to what is more convenient for you.

The first way is if you have just downloaded Pirch or you have not changed your Prefs DCC.

DCC File Send Window

When you click on the File Send button up top a window like this will appear.

The side on the left shows your system. You can access different drives by clicking on the down arrow above the Refresh File List button and clicking on the drive you are looking for; when you do this the drive you have choosen and it's contents are displayed directly above. By double clicking on a folder (example: Pirch32) the contents of that individual folder will be displayed in the far left column.

The right side of the window shows who you are sending the file to and which file or files you are sending.

To send a file this way:

Click on the File Send button up top.

• In the upper right space type in the nick of the person you are sending to; type it exactly as you see it in the channel names list.
• Find the drive you want and click on it. (example: c)
• Find the folder you want and click on it. (example: pirch32)
• Find the sub-folder you want and click on it. (example: pils) This is only if you have pirch set up for sub folders! If you do not then the files will be in your pirch32 folder.
• Hilite the file to send by clicking on it. (example: count.pil).
• Click the arrow in the center of the DCC Send window pointing to the right or you can double click the file. The name of the file will appear in the right side of the DCC Send window, under the person you are sending to.
• Click send on the bottom of the window.
• After the file has been sent click clear, if you do not click clear the files to send side of the window will fill up. When it is full it will not allow you to send files until you clear it.

The second method of file sending is to change your Prefs. I prefer this method because I don't have to type in any nicks, which can be a pain if someone is using a mixture of upper and lower case letters. Not only that I can send the same file to many people by just dragging and dropping the file on their nicks. Another plus is not having to clear the file send box.

Click on the Prefs button up top.

Click on the DCC tab.

• Click in the box next to Use Drag and Drop as Default Method so that there is a check in the box.
• Click OK.

The DCC File Send Window

When you click on the File Send button up top a window like this will appear.

To send a file using this method:

Click on the File Send button up top.

• Find the drive you want and click on it. (example: c)
• Find the folder you want and click on it. (example: pirch32)
• Find the sub-folder you want and click on it. (example: pils) This is only if you have pirch set up for sub folders! If you do not then the files will be in your pirch32 folder.
• Click and hold down the left mouse button while dragging it to the nick of the person you are sending the file to. (example: count.pil).
• Let go of the mouse button.
