Where do irc clients on iOS put files once they are accepted when
sharing?
reddit / irc

I’m new to irc and have sorted out how to request files in servers and
then get a notification to receive a file, but when I accept the file
or click on the notification, I cannot find the file at all. This
happens no matter what client I use. Does file sharing not work on iOS
or iPadOS? I’m sure I’m missing something obvious…perhaps one of you
kind people here can show me the error of my ways….tia

Did you see a progress bar / notification that the file was received?
If so, I would look in your client’s settings for the download
location.

I think Igloo from the app store is the only irc client that works on
ios that can download and it saves it to your icloud drive.

Oh thanks - Igloo works! It saves the files in iCloud Drive,
accessible for, the files app. My irc journey begins, thank you!

Bit too late but TurboIRC also works … although annoyingly has been
crashing at the point of file transfer on iOS 17.1 :(
