Is there a knwon extension to FTP that allows a reqestor to request a dispatching priority level from the target host. For example, transfering very large files at night. A trickle-across mode is useful so as not to interfer with other users. If such a service doesn't now exist it might be suitable as an additional parameter setup during session initialization. Has this been considered before?
