A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Extensions to FTP Working
Group of the IETF.
Title : MLST Command and Extensions to FTP
Author(s) : P. Hethmon, R. Elz
Filename : draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-00.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 03/26/1997
In order to overcome the problems inherent in the current FTP LIST output,
a new command is needed to transfer standardized listing information from
Server-FTP to Client-FTP. In addition, a way for the Server-FTP to let the
Client-FTP know of this capability without imposing on the Client-FTP to
randomly try new commands is needed. This proposal meets both of these
requirements.
This proposal also extends the FTP protocol to allow character sets other
than US-ASCII[1] by allowing the transmission of 8-bit characters and the
recommended use of UTF-8[2] encoding.
This version of the document corrects some aspects of the previous draft,
which was filed as: draft-hethmon-mlst-command-ftp-01.txt in particular
some of the details of the ABNF used. It also adds some editorial notes
where questions to be resolved still exist. This paragraph will be deleted
from the final version of this document.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:

Internet-Drafts directories are located at:
o Africa: ftp.is.co.za
o Europe: ftp.nordu.net

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-mlst-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
