I read it, but it does not explain how to do a file request:

For example to request a file from this node please?

+------------------------....
| Subj: New Files on Sursum Corda! BBS
| To : All
| From: NEF File Manager (1:396/45)
| Date: Mon Aug 30 2021 00:30:48 UTC (17.6 days ago)
+-----------------------------------------------......

The following Files were received for distribution at hub 1:396/45
(Sursum Corda! BBS, Huntsville, AL):
====================================================================

Z1DAILY.Z42 52454 Area: DAILYLIST Origin: 1:229/426
Fidonet Daily Nodelist (Z1/ZIP) for day 242


> NOTE: These files area available by:
(1)Download via the BBS
(2)Standard FTP. Log in to ftp.sursum-corda.com as user Anonymous.
Send your e-mail address as the password. Each directory contains
an "00INDEX.TXT" file as an index of the files in that directory.
Make sure to use Binary transfers for all files.

Sure it does. And I quote:
Sysops and 'F' exempted users may also send File Requests by starting the title
with "FR:" and then the filename(s) being requested follow on the title. If
multiple filenames are requested, they must be separated by a space.
Example: "FR: FILE1.EXT FILE2.EXT".

That comment at the end of the posted message seems to suggest that the file is *not* available file file request, but rather via other download methods instead.
