You would have to keep one more thing, "250 <crc>" as default (or only) reply format, otherwise old clients with knowledge of only the old XCRC wouldn't know what to do with it. So you can either: a) scratch all new reply format ideas and stick with the old one; after all, it shouldn't be that hard for client to remember what it asked for (filename, range, hash type) b) force new clients to support two completely different reply formats, otherwise they wouldn't understand old servers and the "instant success" would not happen; again, it's probably doable, developers are clever people and the two formats should be different enough to get properly recognized But essentially it would still be two different commands, only with the same name, no real advantage. Old client wouldn't benefit from new server and the other way around. --
