IANA lists 194 as assigned port, convention is 6667 or 7000
depending on the IRC network. most servers offer more ports in that

that's not a question of protocol, it's a question of client
implementation. the IRC protocol itself is pretty straight and
neither filesharing nor executing of anything is part of it...
