FTP unique-named store command
Overview
RFC 949, “FTP unique-named store command”, is an Unknown document published in July 1985 by M.A. Padlipsky. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
There are various contexts in which it would be desirable to have an FTP command that had the effect of the present STOR but rather than requiring the sender to specify a file name istead caused the resultant file to have a unique name relative to the current directory. This RFC proposes an extension to the File Transfer Protocol for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. See RFC-959.
What “Unknown” means
