The RMDA command is considered analogous to recursively deleting all files and directories contained in a given remote directory (including the directory itself) one at a time. Directory Size (DSIZ) The FTP command DIRECTORY SIZE (DSIZ) returns the number of octets (8-bit bytes) on the remote file system occupied by a given directory and its contents. Available Octets (AVBL) The FTP command AVAILABLE OCTETS (AVBL) can be used to retrieve the number of octets available to receive uploads in a specified remote directory. Retrieve Thumbnail of Remote Image File (THMB) The THMB FTP command allows the server-FTP process to locally generate a thumbnail of a requested image type and transfer the resulting image instead of the entire contents of the original image file. Client / Server Identification (CSID) The FTP command CLIENT / SERVER IDENTIFICATION (CSID) allows the client and server to exchange relevant identifying information about the programs and underlying platforms being used for the FTP communication. -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
