Strictly speaking "QUOTE" is not a FTP protocol command but rather a command to a local FTP client which by common convention sends the text following the "QUOTE" to the remote FTP server as a command even though its syntax can't be validated by the local client -- useful when dealing with enhanced FTP server features not supported by a particular FTP client, like conveying record-formatting SITE information to a z/OS FTP server from a non-z/OS FTP client. In the context shown, "QUOTE" is apparently being sent as a command to the remote FTP server, where it is indeed invalid. -- Joel C.
