Big Book of Internet File Transfer RFCs

RFCs - Requests for Comments - are useful sources of information on various standards and protocols governing Internet computing.

The "Big Book RFC Series" is a collection of seven books, each of which compiles the RFCs pertaining to one of seven critical topics.

This volume offers coverage of the rules governing how clients and servers communicate to enable successful data transfers via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

In addition to documentation of file transfer mechanics, readers will find practical instructions on many special techniques, including using file transfers for network booting and the security issues relating to file transfer over the Internet.
