A new IETF working group has been proposed in the Applications Area. The IESG has not made any determination as yet. The following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for informational purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing list (iesg@ietf.org) by Tuesday, November 9, 2010 FTP Extensions, 2nd edition (ftpext2) ------------------------------------------ Current Status: Proposed Working Group Last updated: 2010-10-28 Chair(s): TBD Applications Area Directors: Alexey Melnikov <alexey.melnikov@isode.com> Peter Saint-Andre <stpeter@stpeter.im> Applications Area Advisor: Alexey Melnikov <alexey.melnikov@isode.com> Mailing Lists: General Discussion: ftpext@ietf.org To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ftpext Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ftpext/ Description of Working Group: The Standard File Transfer Protocol specification in RFC 959 has been updated several times with command extensions of one sort or another, including those based on the extension mechanism of RFC 2389 (a complete list appears in RFC 5797 and the corresponding IANA registry at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ftp-commands-extensions). The following are active FTP related drafts: draft-bryan-ftp-hash draft-hethmon-mcmurray-ftp-hosts FTP extensions to support IPv4/IPv6 translation scenario draft-klensin-ftp-typeu-00 - FTP Extension for Internationalized Text The Working Group will: * Review and finalize drafts listed above. * Review and confirm or reject errata of current FTP RFCs. * Investigate the differences between FTP in theory (current RFCs) and practice, and recommend future work to align them. Any future work would require rechartering of the WG. The Working Group's specification deliverables are: * A document that specifies the HOST command (Proposed Standard). * A document that specifies the HASH command (Proposed Standard). * A document that specifies FTP extensions to support IPv4/IPv6 translation scenario. * A document that specifies FTP extensions for Internationalized Text. The Working Group must not introduce a new version of FTP, e.g. an incompatible FTP 2.0. Goals and Milestones: Nov 2010 Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual Hosts' as working group item (draft-hethmon-mcmurray-ftp-hosts will be used as a starting point) Nov 2010 Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HASH Command for Cryptographic Hashes' as working group item (draft-bryan-ftp- hash will be used as a starting point) Nov 2010 Submit 'FTP extensions to support IPv4/IPv6 translation' as working group item (draft-liu-ftp64-extension will be used as a starting point) Dec 2010 Working group Last Call of HOST document Jan 2011 Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual Hosts' to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Jan 2011 Working group Last Call of HASH document Feb 2011 Submit 'File Transfer Protocol HASH Command for Cryptographic Hashes' to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard Mar 2011 Working group Last Call of 'FTP extensions to support IPv4/IPv6 translation' document Apr 2011 Submit 'FTP Extension for Internationalized Text' as working group item May 2011 Submit 'FTP extensions to support IPv4/IPv6 translation' to the IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Jul 2011 Working group Last Call of 'FTP Extension for Internationalized Text' Aug 2011 Submit 'FTP Extension for Internationalized Text' to the IESG for consideration as Proposed Standard Sep 2011 Close or recharter _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
