BPQ32 Yapp file transfer

BPQ32 and QTermTCP support the Yapp Protocol. Let’s take a look at how that works.

First we have to great a Directory  ” Files”  in the root dir of Linbpq. The user Pi must be the owner of the Directory.

cd /home/pi/linbpq
mkdir Files
ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi    4096 nov  1 12:10 Files
* If the user Pi does not own the directory "Files", you can change that with.
sudo chown pi:pi Files

Now we can set QTermTCP to use the directory “Files” for uploads and downloads. In the top menu choose ” Yapp” , ” Set Receive Directory” and choose the correct directory (Files).

First we need to connect to a local BBS that supports the YAPP protocol. Now I have set up a BBS here for this test. As modems I use two Ninotnc`s connected with a null modem cable.
Now we are ready to send a file. Again choose in the top menu “Yapp” and “Send File” Now you can choose which file you want to send.

Here we go…..
