Maybe the safest (i.e most pessimistic) invitation that IBM >should issue from their server end would be "Use the QUOTE ACCT >command...", assuming that FTP every client will support QUOTE at >least. The manual might then explain that if your client understands >Acct or Account or Acc etc. it's fine to use that. That's not necessarily a good assumption, either. I have seen client implementations with no QUOTE command, or with a different name for it. Part of the problem is that there is no specific description in the TCP/IP Command Reference Manual for the FTP *server* (i.e., information specifically geared toward access from a non-IBM implementation).
