FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL
Meeting Announcement and a New Proposed Document
Attached is a new proposal for a File Transfer Protocol. The
document is an extensive update to RFC 354 and, I believe,
incorporates solutions to most of the objections to RFC 354.
It now seems appropriate to make another attempt to reach final
agreement on FTP. Accordingly, I am calling a meeting of interested
parties, to be held at BBN on March 16, for discussion of this and
other proposals.
This note is directed to the network community at large, rather than
specifically to the old FTP committee, because I don't believe that
the FTP committee membership includes all the individuals who have
contributed to the current state of FTP design. Nevertheless, it is
intended that the meeting proceed from the current state, rather than
bringing new members up-to-speed. Prospective attendees should
therefore be familiar with at least the following documents:
RFC 354
RFC 385
RFC 414
RFC 418
RFC 438
Anyone wishing to attend this meeting should contact Alex McKenzie
(NIC Ident aam) at BBN, 50 Moulton Street, Cambridge, Mass. 02138.
My telephone number is:
(617) 491-1850 ext.441
When there is some indication of the number of individuals planning
to attend, a meeting room will be reserved and more specific
information will be directed to attendees.
