 A Revised 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     : Feature negotiation mechanism for the File Transfer 
                   Protocol

The File Transfer Protocol is, from time to time, extended with new 
commands, or facilities.  Implementations of the FTP protocol cannot be 
assumed to all immediately implement all newly defined mechanisms.  This 
document provides a mechanism by which clients of the FTP protocol can 
discover which new features are supported by a particular FTP server.      

A new security considerations section has been added.  One previously legal
way to indicate no features has been deleted.  The usual kinds of editorial
updates have been made.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-feat-01.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.
