    Hello all.

    I have a pair of LinPac instances that are communicating across the house to each other. I can send text, and it works perfectly.

    From what I can tell from reading the LinPac manual, to use YAPP to send a file through LinPac, I only need to use the yput command with a file. The peer will start downloading automatically.

    For example, my first test case is sending LinPac's manual.txt from my home directory.

    From a connected channel I type

    :yput /home/neil/manual.txt

    or

    :yput manual.txt

    and nothing happens on either client.

    I feel like I've missed something obvious. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance,

    Neil H. Gray (n8ssw)

    Hello Neil,

    There is the following Linpac bug report at https://sourceforge.net/p/linpac/bugs/31/ where I did some analysis and found one work around using YAPP but it's not perfect. That said, I would be great if both methods could be analyzed and fixed.
