Hello,

I have been carefully reading RFC 959 in the last days, and have also been
looking at the ftpserver code. One thing that jumped me into the eye:
although the RFC repeatedly and insistingly speaks about the two parts of
the FTP protocol, namely the PI (Protocol Interpreter) and the DTP (Data
Transfer Process), there are no such entities in your ftpserver
implementation.

Questions:

1) Was this done on purpose ?
2) You guys interested if I refactor ftpserver to explicitly exhibit such
constructs ? (I'm thinking hard about implementing a protocol of my own on
top of ftp, that's why).

Best regards,
