Title : Streamlined FTP Command Extensions
Author(s) : M. Peterson, R. Software
Filename : draft-peterson-streamlined-ftp-command-extensions-01.txt
Pages : 19

This document specifies FTP commands to download thumbnails of remote
images, remove entire directory trees, request the amount of storage
space available to the user, request the size of a remote directory
and its contents, and to specify an FTP host. The commands are
designed to reduce the number of server / client exchanges, provide
information that was not previously available, and to reduce
bandwidth requirements for some higher level operations.
Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
This document uses previously established definitions for FTP related
terms as defined in [RFC959]. In particular, the terms "data
connection", "FTP command", "file", "pathname", "reply", "server-FTP
process", "user", and "user-FTP process" are used as defined. The
terms "server" and "client" are also used in place of "server-FTP
process" and "user-FTP process", respectively, for the sake of
brevity.
The syntax for responses to FTP commands used in this document is
explained using Augmented BNF as defined in [RFC5234]. Additional
tokens defined in [RFC3659] that extend ABNF are also used,
specifically the TCHAR token.
In command examples, "C>" and "S>" indicate lines sent by the client
and server, respectively.
