IRC Bouncer connect without /quote pass?

Question

I am using a bouncer (ZNC) to connect to an IRC network. I am using ChatZilla to connect to the bouncer.

On connect I get the following message:

You need to send your password. Try /quote PASS <username>:<password>

Is there a way I can setup my connection to avoid manually entering the username and password each time? The IRC client does not provide a server password field unfortunately.

Answer 1

I found the answer myself after quite some searching. There is the command /name which allows you to set a username beforehand, not in any setting along with the name of the IRC server and password.

So all you need to do, on startup of the IRC client for example,

/name your_username /server server.com 1234 your_password

In Chatzilla, that would go in to the section: Global Settings - Lists - Commands to be run when starting Chatzilla.

It's not possible to connect to ZNC with a single command, through the locations settings for example.

Answer 2

You must set your username and password in the server configuration for your local IRC client.

For example, I use weechat. Weechat uses a file called irc.conf.
