A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Safe GET & Safe PUT options for FTP
Author(s) : D. Kumar Nanecha, C. Aswathanarayana
Filename : draft-dilip-ftpext-safe-transfer-00.txt
Pages : 9

This draft presents a mechanism to overcome one of the cumbersome
aspects of file transfer. Ftp fails to transfer the data as there
is not enough disk space on the remote machine, but it fails only
after it does the substantial data transfer and discovers that
there is no more disk space left on the remote machine.
The basic intention is to provide FTP Extension for checking the
availability of the disk space before starting the actual file
transfer operation on remote machines.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dilip-ftpext-safe-transfer-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
