[nos-bbs] YAPP file transfers possible on JNOS?

[debiani386]

Yeah, that is what I have been doing as well (encoding the binaries in 7plus and uploading them that way), I was just wanting to confirm if JNOS had any sort of YAPP functionality like FBB does for file transfers and saw the yapp functions in the fbbfwd.c file.

Thanks for the confirmation.
