File Transfer Implementation - GSOC Project 2013

[Sulabh Mahajan]

Hi Ashish,

Congrats for getting accepted for GSoC. I haven't read your proposal yet,
looks like the link accessible to mentors only. I should be able to help
you with the Y! file transfers.

Let me know when you get started and need any kind of help.

Regards,
Sulabh
