I just did a request for "files" from both of the above nodes and in both cases
I got the expected file for those requests.

I requested files from this node also and got a reply that the requested file
was not found. I suspect that file requests are not configured by this node.

I was using MBSE when I made my request and it worked as expected for me. There
must be something not quite right somewhere but I don't know what it is.

Might have to ask the sysop to check the log for a failed request and see if
there is anything in there that would shed a little light on it.
