FTP Operation Over Big Address Records
RFC 1545, “FTP Operation Over Big Address Records”, is an Experimental document published in November 1993 by D. Piscitello. It has been obsoleted by RFC 1639 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This RFC specifies a method for assigning long addresses in the HOST- PORT specification for the data port to be used in establishing a data connection for File Transfer Protocol, FTP (STD 9, RFC 959). This is a general solution, applicable for all "next generation" IP alternatives, and can also be extended to allow FTP operation over transport interfaces other than TCP. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
What “Experimental” means
