The remaining FTP commands specified in RFC 959 are recognized but not implemented.
The FTP server aborts an active file transfer only when the ABOR command is preceded by a
Telnet "Interrupt Process" (IP) signal and a Telnet "Synch" signal in the command Telnet stream,
as described in RFC 959.
The FTP server interprets file names according to the "globbing" conventions used by ksh. This
allows users to use the metacharacters ‘*?[]{}’.
Using SITE Commands
SITE commands are used by an FTP server to provide services specific to the system on which
the server runs. Such services are those essential to file transfer but not so generally needed that
they must be implemented as commands in the protocol. FTPSERV supports the following SITE
commands:
CHMOD [ nnn ]
When the OSS file system is used, the SITE CHMOD command sets or checks
the security of a destination file. nnn is a three-digit octal value for access per-
missions.
If nnn is a valid value, all files transferred after this command have their security
set to the specified value. If nnn is an invalid value, the error is reported to the
user and the current valid security setting is unchanged.
If the command is specified without an nnn value, the current security setting is
displayed.
If the SITE CHMOD command is not specified, all files transferred have their
security set to 666 (-rw-rw-rw).
HELP When either file system is used, the SITE HELP command describes each
server service and the syntax for its command.
NOCRLF { ON | OFF }
When the Guardian file system is used, the SITE NOCRLF command enables
(ON) or disables (OFF) carriage return and linefeed translation by the server
during file transfers.
If the SITE NOCRLF command is not used, carriage return and linefeed trans-
lation occurs by default.
