These commands are 'built-in' to Arachne.

--- clipped from the SRC code (ftp.c) ---

sprintf( str, "USER %s", ptr);
sprintf( str, "PASS %s", ptr);
sprintf( str, "CWD %s", url->file);
sprintf( str, "LIST");
sprintf( str, "TYPE I");
sprintf( str, "TYPE A");
sprintf( str, "RETR %s", url->file);
sprintf( str, "STOR %s", url->file);
quit:
sock_puts(socket,(unsigned char *)"QUIT");
sock_close( socket );

(note)
Arachne cannot delete nor rename files via ftp.

All of the commands she does are strictly for 'logging-in',
'directory listing', 'uploading' and 'downloading' purposes.

She is *not* by-any-means a 'full featured FTP client'.
