campus - FTP-server for
BeOS®
General note:
ftp is a very old protocol and has certain commands that are not
needed anymore or simply have no meaning in todays computing world.
In the following I list the most important commands that are missing
or that are not completely implemented.
Most of these commands will never be used by ftp clients so there
is not really a missing functionality. The list is just for informational
purposes.
- Unimplemented commands
- ACCT (account)
This command is for sites that make a difference between
the login of a user and the right to store or retrieve
files. campus does not make this differentiation
so the command is not needed.
- SMNT (structure mount)
This command allows the user to mount a different "file
system data structure"... campus does not support this.
- Ignored commands and options
- ALLO (allocate)
This command is not needed by campus, so it is
ignored. (But nonetheless it is parsed and checked if
its syntax is correct.)
- MODE (transmission modes)
The modes 'B' (block mode) and 'C' (compressed mode) are
ignored.
- STRU (file structure)
File structures 'P' (page structure) and 'R' (record structure)
are ignored.
- TYPE (data type)
Type 'E' (EBCDIC type) is ignored. When the type is 'A' (ascii
type) the form must be 'N' (non print). With type 'L' (local)
size must be set to 8.
- Missing features
