Direct Client Connection, a protocol used on IRC to send files between users, create private chats, and make a whiteboard for shared drawing. The DCC handshake is sent through the server (with CTCP), but the file/chat/whiteboard session takes place over a direct connection between the clients--hence the name. Can also be used as a verb, meaning to send a file using DCC.
