New FTP working group at IETF

FTP is quite a stable protocol. It's been used for nearly 4 decades to transfer files. FTP is defined in a series of RFCs (Internet Standards or specifications that describe how to implement the protocol) which are published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), a standards developing organization.

Quick tip: official FTP command registry

Many different specifications (RFCs) over the long history of FTP describe its official implementation. FTP is about 40 years old, but there are about 10 "newer" specifications written over the last 25 years that implementors need to take into account, only some of which are linked to each other. You might not find them, even if you know what you're looking for! :)

Enabling multi-lingual support in JSCAPE MFT server

Verbose logging is a mode in logging wherein the information recorded is more detailed than usual. You usually activate it when you want to troubleshoot something. Because verbose logging records a lot of information, it can slow down performance and generate very large log files. For this reason, it should be switched off as soon as the troubleshooting session is finished.
