To my knowledge, no. And for an obvious reason, if you think about it: the hub may have terabytes of files in its index.

I believe %FREQ will let you request a specific file, if you know what you're looking for. For general curiosity, you'll find it easiest to join an older BBS and explore the file base from there.

I did exactly this on 20forbeers.com:1337

If I hadn't just downloaded directly from paulie420's BBS, I could then use the information I gleaned to do any %FREQ's I needed. Of course, that only works if the file is on the fsxNet file base. Many BBSes (including 20forbeers) have multiple file bases, so keep this in mind.
