+# FRequest - Simple file transfer protocol
+
+FRequest is a <del>dumb</del> simple file transfer protocol for use on Minitel networks. A file transfer occurs as follows:
+
+1. The client initiates a connection to the server on the FRequest port (default 70)
+2. The client sends the path to the file they want, followed by a newline.
+3. The server responds with either the contents of the requested file, a directory listing, or "file not found" if there is an error.
+4. The server closes the connection.
+
+Servers may wish to implement restricting users to a specific directory.
