# Introduction
`XFR` is a command introduced with [MSNP2](../versions/msnp2.md).
It is a Dispatch Server and Notification Server command, without either a request or response payload.
It tells the client what server to connect to for the request.
# Client/Request
`XFR TrID server-type`
Where `server-type` is either `SB` (for a Switchboard Server), or `NS` (for a new Notification Server).
# Server/Response
`XFR TrID server-type address:port {...}`
Where `server-type` is either `SB` (for Switchboard), or `NS` (for a Notification Server).
Where `address:port` is the server you have requested or being referred to is.
If this is set to `0`, proceed to **ignore** the `server-type` parameter
and restart the login process on the current server from [VER](ver.md).
## XFR NS
`XFR TrID NS address:port {0|U} {current-server|D}`
In [MSNP3](../versions/msnp3.md) and above until [MSNP13](../versions/msnp13.md),
`0` is always set to `0`.
In [MSNP7](../versions/msnp7.md) and above until [MSNP13](../versions/msnp13.md),
`current-server` is the current server you are connected to.
In [MSNP13](../versions/msnp13.md) and higher,
the `0` is replaced with a constant `U`,
and the `current-server` is replaced with a constant `D`.
## XFR SB
`XFR TrID SB address:port authentication-method authentication-parameter {U} {domain} {direct-connect}`
Where `authentication-method` is always `CKI`.
Where `authentication-parameter` is the "cookie" you need to log in to Switchboard.
Where `U` is always set to `U`. Since [MSNP13](../versions/msnp13.md).
No use documented.
Where `domain` is always set to `messenger.msn.com`. Since [MSNP13](../versions/msnp13.md).
No use documented.
Where `direct-connect` is set to one of these two values, Since [MSNP14](../versions/msnp14.md):
* `0`: This `address:port` can only be accessed only via the HTTP Gateway.
* `1`: This `address:port` can be connected to via TCP as well as the HTTP Gateway.

# Known changes
* [MSNP3](../versions/msnp3.md): Added a new parameter that is always `0` to XFR NS.
* [MSNP7](../versions/msnp7.md): Added a new parameter that is the current server you are communicating with to XFR NS.
* [MSNP13](../versions/msnp13.md): Replaced `0` and the current server parameter with `U` and `D` respectively in XFR NS,
and also added two parameters to XFR SB, one that is always `U`,
and one that is a domain name, which is always `messenger.msn.com`.
* [MSNP14](../versions/msnp14.md): Added a new parameter that is either `0` or `1` to XFR SB
to denote whenever the client should directly connect to the address, or use the HTTP Gateway to connect instead.
