Allow rigth for binary files too:

	GET filename.pdf

Better:
	size FIL this_is_the_pure_contents_of_filename.doc

or

	FIL size this_is_the_pure_contents_of_the_filename.doc

The last will do if the client only expects 3 char commands.

Nothing of that all.

You got data from a client using something like
	
	pStream->Read()

in your Threads Execute() method. In the same method you can use

	pStream->Write()

to send data to the client.
