From: Vince.Fuller@CMU-CS-C.ARPA I recently received a request to modify the TOPS-20 FTP server to selectively accept/reject the "SITE xxx" based on the paramater, "xxx". In particular, Unix systems are evidentally sending "SITE UNIX" to do something special which the TOPS-20's aren't doing. My question is: how should an FTP server handle the "SITE" command? A quick read of RFC765 mentions SITE, but that's about it - it doesn't say what the command should do. --Vince -------

This command is supposed to send parameters that are system specific,
but necessary for the file transfer. If you don't handle it, you
probably should send back a 202 or 502 (Command not implemented).
