Hi Bdale, I confirm that it is rather strange. However ran from root it works flawlessly. I tried with ' but this is not accepted by sudo, i.e. sudo 'ircp filetosend.txt' . it doesnt like it.
What is interesting is that : sudo ircp -r lets the linux box receive file from any user from teh irda dongle. I is disappointing that it does work; I tried many thigns but efforts were though vains :( All the best / Kind regards Y.
