File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual Hosts
RFC 7151, “File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual Hosts”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2014 by P. Hethmon, R. McMurray. It updates RFC 959. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The File Transfer Protocol, as defined in RFC 959, does not provide a way for FTP clients and servers to differentiate between multiple DNS names that are registered for a single IP address. This document defines a new FTP command that provides a mechanism for FTP clients and servers to identify individual virtual hosts on an FTP server.
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.
