Internationalization of the File Transfer Protocol
RFC 2640, “Internationalization of the File Transfer Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 1999 by B. Curtin. It updates RFC 959. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document addresses the internationalization (I18n) of FTP, which includes supporting the multiple character sets and languages found throughout the Internet community. This is achieved by extending the FTP specification and giving recommendations for proper internationalization support. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
