| Filename | filename | File path (RRQ/WRQ only) | Null-terminated string | config.txt\0 |
| Mode | mode | Transfer mode (RRQ/WRQ only) | Null-terminated string | octet\0, netascii\0 |

| Data | data | File content (DATA only) | Binary | Up to 512 bytes |
| Error Code | error_code | Error type (ERROR only) | uint16 | 0 = Not defined, 1 = File not found |
