  • [1] This means that creation of destination directories only occur once we try to transfer a valid file. If there are no files to transfer, the destination directory is not made. (However, if dskipempty is set to NO we should create it. Currently not implemented)
  • [2] Is ignored if data_TLS, or optional FXP_TLS, is set to YNA_NO.
  • [3] The REST command need to be very close to the transfer commands as some commands will clear the REST value if executed.
  • [4] Waiting for 150 messages, and also 226 is also considered a phase.
