Oops.  Then this is something I should have spotted earlier, from Section
4.4:

# For other uses, the "Size" fact of the MLST command (see
# section 7.5.7) ought be requested.

"ought to be" would be grammatically correct.

I'm not so sure on that one - more common certainly, but more
correct I don't know.

But if it is the consensus to change that, I think that is the kind of
thing that we don't have to worry about changing after we do an IETF

Certainly where _I'm_ from, "ought be" is incorrect and meaningless.  In 
this instance, "to be" is an infinitive, and cannot be changed to "be".

"ought be", if it is anything, is a contraction of the slang "oughta be", 
which is similarly a contraction of "ought to be".

Ok. I just thought it might be more complete to mention that servers 
MAY include REST BLOCK and so forth in the FEAT list.

Would it make sense to say that feature values that contain special 
characters should be URL encoded?

I know this is too late for this draft, but a follow-on clarification of how to 
handle feature values that contain reserved characters might be useful in 
the future. URL encoded does not excite me, but I think that there 
should be some definition of how to handle arbitrary feature values. If 
this can't get into this draft, is this still the best place to discuss it?

Ok, so you're saying that PWD should not return UTF-8 paths?

I know the doc says that MLST must support UTF-8, but it does not 
mention "legacy" commands such as PWD.  Do you think this may 
leave the issue unclear?

Perhaps in the "pathnames" section it should say that servers and 
clients MUST use ASCII/EBCDIC names for all commands except for 
MLST.

As I read this, I read it to mean that:

if the server includes MLST in the FEAT list, then pathnames (to any 
command or from any command) are either utf-8 or raw.

As I client, I'd infer that MLST appearing in the FEAT list allows me to 
use UTF-8 with any command.

As a server, I'd say that if my FEAT list would return MLST, then I can 
use UTF-8 anywhere as well and might receive UTF-8 pathnames 
anywhere.

I'm sure I've missed this somewhere else in the document (having read it 
rather quickly), but my concern is returning UTF-8 pathnames to old 
clients. (I happen to be operating in an environment where there is a 
difference).

---

Where can I find a client implementation that supports this draft?

Thanks,

-Brad

[Aside to list members: Brad asked Paul Hethmon and I a set of questions
about the draft - one of which was whether there is a list to discuss it.
I replied, answered most of the questions (I think), and included the
list address - Brad's message to the list was a reply to that reply of
mine - so in a sense, you're coming in in the middle of a brief discussion].

  | Ok. I just thought it might be more complete to mention that servers 
  | MAY include REST BLOCK and so forth in the FEAT list.

I'm not sure it would do a lot of good of itself.  Perhaps better
might be to indicate support of BLOCK mode at all - but that I don't
think is in scope for the current draft.

  | Would it make sense to say that feature values that contain special 
  | characters should be URL encoded?

The draft says somewhere that such things should be encoded (need to
be encoded).  It doesn't say how, as none of the facts so far defined
need any defined encoding of that form.  When a fact that would need
such encoding is defined, then the encoding method will need to be
defined as well - I would expect that a common method for encoding most
facts that might need it would be useful.  But I wouldn't necessarily agree
that one universal encoding method will necessarily be suitable for all
facts ever defined - an ecoding method suitable for a fact that will
occasionally contain an "unusual" character, isn't likely to be best
for encoding a fact that will typically contain mostly "unusual" characters,
and vice versa.

So, I'd prefer to leave that unspecified for now.

  | Ok, so you're saying that PWD should not return UTF-8 paths?

PWD I'd forgotten...   Or rather, I had forgotten until after I sent
the reply.   I'm not sure it how much it matters though.  In most
cases, the current directory won't be down a non-ascii pathname
unless the client has instructed the server to go there.  I know that
it is possible to log in directly to anywhere in the NFVS tree, and
so potentially get any path in the reply.  It would probably be wise
for servers, and server operators to avoid that happening, until at
least most clients understand more than ascii.

  | I know the doc says that MLST must support UTF-8, but it does not 
  | mention "legacy" commands such as PWD.  Do you think this may

Actually, I thought it did say that all pathnames, in all commands,
would be affected.

  | Perhaps in the "pathnames" section it should say that servers and 
  | clients MUST use ASCII/EBCDIC names for all commands except for 
  | MLST. 

No, that would not be productive - having obtained a listing containing
non-ascii pathnames, how would the client ever manipulate the files
listed?

The FTP server really must deal with the file system it finds under it.
That's always been the case.   If there are are non-ascii file or directory
names, then the server really doesn't have a lot of choice, other than
I guess attempting to encode them somehow, and then deal with receiving
encoded filenames back.

  | As I read this, I read it to mean that:

The "pathname" in the grammar is relaly only intended to be useful
for this particular doc, 959 doesn't have a grammar.   But in spite of
that, I agree with the conclusion, if not the method of reaching it.

Yes.   But that you can does not mean that you necessarily automatically
should, if there is a reasonable alternative.  If there isn't, then you
really have no choice.   If the operators of the filestore have arranged
to implement it in a way that will cause problems for many clients, then
either the filestore will be ignored, or the clients will get upgraded,
depending upon just how desireable it is.

  | Where can I find a client implementation that supports this draft?

I have one, but "support" is truly rudimentary (it allowed be to
exercise the servers that are around, and get the examples that are
included in the draft).   It isn't something I would let a user near
though (or distribute).   Aside from that, I'm not sure.

Since it is possible for a server to support this doc without in any
way altering its appearance to old clients, I expect that updated servers
will appear first, and only when there are reasonable numbers of servers
around will clients that make use of them appear.

Ok. So if a feature appears that will be commonly used and if it contains 
"special characters" (ie, semi-colon or space) then the document 
describing that feature will also describe how it is encoded.

Well this is the crux of my problem. In the Novell NetWare environment, 
we can return "long" and "short" names. Short names (AKA DOS 
namespace) won't have non-ascii characters. However we have 
customers demanding support NOW for accented characters in the long 
namespace.

We really need to know if the client can accept UTF-8 in the PWD 
response.

If the client issues an MLSx command, we'll know that they can accept 
UTF-8 pathnames, so PWD will return UTF-8 paths.

Otherwise, we'll have to assume that it's an old client, and not return 
UTF-8 pathnames from PWD. If we encounter a path (which may be 
their starting directory after login) that has non-ascii characters, we have 
to return the short (DOS) form of the pathname.

I think this is not ideal.

Our server has a choice since each pathname is represented by at least 
one, but possibly five different namespaces. DOS, MAC, NFS, LONG, 
FTAM

Until we're certain that the client can accept a UTF-8 pathname, we'll be 
forced to use the DOS namespace if the pathname has non-ascii 
characters in the default namespace (ie, LONG)

If our server assumes that clients are "old" until identified as new, then 
PWD will return a DOS name if the LONG name has non-ascii 
characters. If the client supports UTF-8, we won't know this until they 
issue an MLSx command.

Most clients start with a SYST and PWD as their first commands, not 
LIST or NLST. Therefore the client, even if it supports UTF-8, MAY get 
the wrong pathname from its first PWD command.

Consider
C> PWD
S> /sys/usr/gunte
C> MLSD 
S> 220 .... 
C> PWD
S> /sys/usr/gunt<220><123>

totally made up, but you can see the problem..

I feel that this part of the draft leaves an ambiguity. What does PWD 
return before the client has issued an MLSx command?

I suppose this is too late to get into the draft, but it would be nice if 
there were a "CLIENT-FEATURE" command that the client could issue, 
at any point, that tells the server what features the client supports. 

In this case, UTF-8 is the only client-side feature that I can think of.

Sure, but it would be nice to be able to test our server with a somewhat 
conforming client, rather than typing everything by-hand.

Now, when you say "non-ascii" characters, do you truly mean that Novell's 
"DOS namespace" cannot contain characters outside the range 
32-127?  Certainly, my DOS machine can put those characters into files, as 
can be shown by simply typing "COPY CON <Alt-250>.txt", where "<Alt-250>" 
means holding down the Alt key, while typing "250" on the numeric keypad, 
then releasing the Alt key.  I get a nice little dot in the middle of the 
character - <Alt-160> produces an 'a' with a grave accent, and other 
sequences are possible.

If you have no reason to assume that the client is aware of UTF-8 encoding, 
then you have, as I see it, three choices:
1. Act like an RFC-959 compliant server and return 7-bit characters only.
2. Act like most FTP servers and pass the 8-bit character code in raw, and 
hope that the client can figure it out.
3. Return UTF-8 anyway - most clients are going to be capable of dealing 
with 8-bit character sequences, and UTF-8 is merely an encoding into an 
8-bit character sequence; further, where the characters used are 'regular' 
7-bit ASCII, the UTF-8 encoding is the same as the ASCII encoding.

Either of these options may require you encoding certain characters, but 
does not necessarily prohibit you from using the long filename - as long as 
the encoding is reversible, i.e. that the client can request the name 
provided in a PWD response, or an NLST/LIST listing, to fetch the file.

What does your FTP server do currently (i.e. assuming that this draft 
document had never been written)?

And by that time, changing the output of some commands may cause problems 
as they will then disagree with information that the client has cached.

That's more an issue for the I18N document (*) to address than the MLST 
document; and it does so:

[From the book of RFC, chapter 2640, verse 4.1]
    A new command "LANG" is added to the FTP command set to allow
    server-FTP process to determine in which language to present server
    greetings and the textual part of command responses. The parameter
    associated with the LANG command SHALL be one of the language tags
    defined in RFC 1766 [RFC1766]. If a LANG command without a parameter
    is issued the server's default language will be used.

    Greetings and responses issued prior to language negotiation SHALL be
    in the server's default language. Paragraph 4.5 of [RFC2277] state
    that this "default language MUST be understandable by an English-
    speaking person". This specification RECOMMENDS that the server
    default language be English encoded using ASCII. This text may be
    augmented by text from other languages. Once negotiated, server-PI
    MUST return server messages and textual part of command responses in
    the negotiated language and encoded in UTF-8. Server-PI MAY wish to
    re-send previously issued server messages in the newly negotiated
    language.

In other words, all PWD and other responses must be in "English encoded 
using ASCII" unless the LANG command is issued.

Note that MLST's use of the UTF-8 specification is more to tie it in to the 
RFC 2640 document than it is to mandate sweeping changes to the FTP 
standard in that respect - it is RFC 2640 that mandates those changes.

This would be "LANG EN", selecting English as the language, or "LANG" - 
either will indicate to the server that you're able to understand UTF-8.

And the client authors say "it would be nice to be able to test our client 
with a somewhat conforming server..." :-)  There's somewhat of a 
chicken-and-egg situation here, and as a server author, I do feel your pain 
- personally, I knocked up a quick and dirty hack to an existing FTP client 
code.  I wouldn't feel comfortable releasing it, of course, since it is so 
quick and dirty (everything's hard-coded).

Alun.

While reading this part of the draft I had a feeling that it has too
clean-mind design. In other words, it totally ignores the current
situation (when 99% of clients/server speak national characters and not
Unicode; some clients (MSIE, Mozilla) do support Unicode but it is mostly
unused). Without real-world test implementation it is hard to predict what
was omitted and what was specified in unreasonable way. IMHO RFC2640 is an
example: I have pretty high doubts whether it will make into FTP
clients/servers. 

Note: you should probably view these comments as
'feelings-at-the-first-glance' and not a flamebait.

Such guessing (caused by vague standard) ought to provoke great mess! Am I
wrong?

My FTP client does support some features found in the current draft (MLST)
but not the internationalization stuff: I just don't see the
demand. MLST/FEAT support is not enabled by default, you have to set an
option in nftp.ini. Critisms and comments about NFTP are welcome. Also I
suspect that ncftp by Mike Gleason should have MLST support since ncftpd
supports it (draft-05 compliance is claimed).

I've just added MLST/MLSD "support" to my server in the same matter
even tho the draft says UTF-8 must be supported. Until I see the demand
I'll probably do nothing about it.

Sorry? To quote draft-10:

   Various FTP commands take pathnames as arguments, or return pathnames
   in responses.  When the MLST command is supported, as indicated in
   the response to the FEAT command [6], pathnames are to be transferred
   in one of the following two formats.

        pathname       = utf-8-name / raw
        utf-8-name     = <a UTF-8 encoded Unicode string>
        raw            = <any string not being a valid UTF-8 encoding>

   Which format is used is at the option of the user-PI or server-PI
   sending the pathname. UTF-8 encodings [2] contain enough internal
   structure that it is always, in practice, possible to determine
   whether a UTF-8 or raw encoding has been used, in those cases where
   it matters.

This looks like raw pathnames are permitted? (Note: and only possibility
to find out whether this is a raw or UTF-8 string is guessing).

I'd like to comment this a little. But first some facts and opinions about
Unicode. I hope it won't trigger the discussion similar to one with Alex
Belits.

It is known that at least in several non-English speaking countries
(examples are Russia and Japan) Unicode in general and its implementations
such as UTF-8 are frowned upon by users. There are several reasons why
this has happened. The most important one is that many programs in wide
use don't support Unicode texts. For example, if I would want to view text
file with UTF-8 contents I'll either have to convert it to 866 or KOI8, or
find the software which does it automatically while viewing. On the other
hand, almost all software will display this file properly if it is already
in 866 or KOI8 encoding and proper fonts are installed -- even when this
software wasn't designed to work with 866 or KOI8. The second most
important reason is huge base of accumulated texts in national encodings.

However, this does not mean that Unicode is useless. It is far from that
because it allows to have single version of the program to work with many
languages and encodings without enormous amount of work which would be
required to support all national encodings.  That's why Unicode is mostly
pursued by large companies who produce multi-language products (to sell in
many countries) and have resources to implement Unicode support. The
examples are operating systems, wordprocessors and browsers. The most part
of the momentum gained by Unicode in Russia is IMHO due to the fact that
it is used/supported in newer versions of Microsoft Word and Outlook. But
since Word has its own document format Unicode continues to be pretty much
contained within Word :-)

Furthermore, wide acceptance of the Unicode would allow to get rid of
several variants of national encodings. For example, Russia uses 5 ones:
866 (DOS, OS/2), 1251 (Windows), KOI8 (Unix), ISO8859-5 (some Unixes, but
now pretty much unused), and Mac. This is great, convoluted mess.

Personally, I'd like to see Unicode to take over the world so that
everything would happen in it (and have 32 bit in byte so that ugly
workarounds like UTF-8 would be unnecessary). But right now I don't see it
happening; for example, my mail client (pine) cannot handle it. At such
level of acceptance IMHO it is unreasonable to demand Unicode support at
the protocol level.

Now let's return to our FTP protocol. Given the current situation (Unicode
is good but national encodings are more popular than it right now) I don't
see any point in tying MLSx support to UTF-8 support. These are in fact
totally independent things and I see no reasons to associate them with
each other. What bad things can happen from this tying? I can imagine two
ones. Firstly, server/client authors who don't want to add Unicode support
(due to real or perceived lack of demand) might choose not to implement
MLSx at all (to be on somewhat safer side of RFC conformance). Secondly,
MLSx could get implemented but without UTF-8 support (this is already
happening). Since draft-10 does not provide a way to find out whether
server really talks UTF-8, aware clients will have to guess. This is bad.

The way I like things to be in FTP protocol: make clients and servers
capable in telling/setting encoding used in filenames and commands,
including PWD, MLSx, LIST(!), DELE etc. I.e. server will have some default
encoding determined during the installation process. Typically that will
be encoding used in the underlying filesystem, but this can also be UTF-8,
or something else (e.g. Unix FTP server could be set up to automatically
translate from KOI8 to 866). When unaware clients connect to it they
operate in that encoding (while not actually knowing that). When aware
client connects to such server, it can either query the default (and if
default is reasonable for it, proceed) or request from server the list of
supported encodings, or simply try to set the encoding it wants to work in
(even if UTF-8 is not an encoding I use this term for all methods of
communicating non-ASCII information). This IMHO would allow for gradual
introduction of UTF-8 into FTP world. Unicode proponents might argue that
this will slow down acceptance of Unicode because servers are going to
talk national encodings first (since these are already in the filesystem,
and no conversion is necessary), but I don't think this is important.

Short summary: we shouldn't push Unicode acceptance, but provide an easy
way to add its support in inambiguous way when necessary. 

Q: Why we shouldn't require UTF-8 support in MLSx. 
A: 1) Because it will also require UTF-8 support in CWD/PWD/DELE/etc. 2)
Because there are certainly going to be a number of semi-broken
implementations which will not actually support Unicode but provide MLSx
interface. 3) Because Unicode has not gained widespread acceptance yet and
old-style national encodings must be permitted and method to determine the
encoding is needed.

Q: Why can't we require UTF-8 support in CWD/PWD/DELETE/etc.?
A: 1) Because it will break existing infrastructure. 2) Because it would
be chicken-and-egg problem: servers won't support it before clients, and
clients won't support it before servers (remember EPLF discussions!)

The RFC2640 is a special case. Sentences like "Another feature is that the
encoding rules make it very unlikely that a character sequence from a
different character set will be mistaken for a UTF-8 encoded character
sequence. Clients and servers can use a simple routine to determine if the
character set being exchanged is valid UTF-8" make me really wonder
whether this RFC pretends to be a standard because it expicitly suggests
guessing at the protocol level, and leaves no possibility to find out
whether guessing has been correct! ("There may be cases when the code set
/ encoding presented to the server or client cannot be determined. In such
cases the raw bytes SHOULD be used.") And as I already wrote requiring
UTF-8 is at least unreasonable at the current level of general Unicode
acceptance. The good thing is that at least FEAT option is included to
indicate UTF-8 support in servers, but clients cannot turn it off! In
other words, i18n-ed server suddenly breaks all existing clients when
dealing with non-ASCII filenames because UTF-8 support is required from
it, is turned on by default, and there's no way to turn it off. I don't
want to comment on the LANG command because I don't think it is important.

Finally, my proposed solutions:

-- problem posed by Brad Clements: support filenames encoded as in
underlying filesystem because users almost certainly are going to work
with them via other ways (not FTP) and consistency is a good thing.
RFC2640 is `clever' enough even to make this compliant with it! Provide an
installation option to turn on Unicode support for users who need to use
many languages at once and are willing to develop/search for new FTP
clients with Unicode which could appear in some (perhaps not very distant)
future;

-- mlst-draft: remove everything related to i18n.

With respect to Sergey's recent post.

I can't comment on the internationalization issues.

I do think that the pathname format being sent by the server, or the 
client, should be un-ambigious. 

The client should be able to tell the server "I'll accept UTF-8, I can send 
UTF-8" and the server should be able to say "I can send UTF-8, I can 
receive UTF-8". 

I know the LANG option was mentioned as a way to do some of this, 
but I think it would be good to eleminate "guess" and path-type 
determination based on inspection.

The LANG option (as defined in RFC2640) talks about server messages (such
as greetings, error messages, etc.) and does not affect the encoding of
the pathnames/filenames.

Subject: Ftp-WG: Search Engine Secrets Discovered

"Amazing Search Engine Secrets Discovered By A Computer
Illiterate Man in Massachusetts Can Practically Hand
You the Top Search Engine Positions...And Add 1,550 
Hits a Day to Web Site Overnight!"

Dear Friend,

Remember the first time you built a web site. You stayed up 
until the early morning working it out so that it would be 
just perfect. Then, you were finally done and you sat back 
and thought, "The World is Good."

After that, you've dreamed of all the visitors your site 
would have, how they would all see your ad and buy your 
product.  Then it hit you, like a ton of bricks....How was 
anyone going to find your web site?

You thought about it for a while and eventually thought you 
had the answer....submit your site to the search engines. 
But after you submitted your site you checked it out and 
couldn't find it.

So you waited a few days.....and still nothing

You couldn't even find your site if you looked up your own 
name!!!

Then, you got discouraged....after all that hard work 
NOTHING?!?!?

And this is where most people give up.....
BUT You Don't Have To...

You can achieve top 20 positioning for your web site...and 
the tens of thousands of hits which come with it...if you 
have the "Right" information available to you.

For Example, did you know:

* Infoseek, Alta Vista, and HotBot ban web sites which break 
their rules (many of the 'insider' techniques most experts
recommend will get you banned faster than you could imagine).

* Many search engines limit the number of pages you can 
submit from your domain (some only allow you to submit one 
page for best results), although we can show you a technique 
we use to get hundreds of our pages listed.

* Yahoo only lists about 1% of the web in their actual 
directory.  To even get your page listed, you may have to 
use the "backdoor".

* Using a so-called search engine submission software that 
submits your site to 1,000 or more search engines could 
actually get your page deleted from the major search engines.

* 95% of Internet traffic originates at one of the 10 major
search engines...If you're not listed, you might as well
not even have a web site!

* Choosing the most effective 'keywords' is one of the major
keys to a successful web site submission...Pick the right 
ones and your web site will look like Grand Central Station 
during rush hour!

It has taken us over 2 years to learn how to consistently and 
without fail place any type of web site in the top 20 of the 
major search engines.

Normally, we charge $500 per keyword that you want a top 
ranking on (plus a monthly fee of $150 for keeping that rank), 
but we have found we just don't have enough time for all of 
the clients that desperately need our services...

So, we have produced a "Search Engine Magic" interactive
CD-ROM that will show you step by step how to create pages
which storm the search engines and lay hold to the precious 
Top 20 positions that millions of people are trying to reach.

The Search Engine Magic CD-ROM consists of 21 interactive 
video and audio lessons that will run on any IBM compatible 
computer showing you the exact step-by-step process we use 
to traffic thousands of visitors to our web sites every 
single day.

You will learn:

* Three Different Methods We Use to Pick the Best Traffic 
Producing Keywords for any web site...and how you can have 
a list of hundreds of popular keywords in only a few minutes.

* How Quick and Easy it is to Create 'Doorway' and 'Hallway' 
pages for the search engines so that you could possibly have 
thousands of different pages on your domain all pulling in 
visitors for your site 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

* The Secret Weapon that gives you an "Unfair Advantage" over 
your competition...and virtually assures you will reach the 
top positions (don't let your competitors hear about this one 
first or you will be in trouble).

* How to Submit Your Pages to the Search Engines and assure 
that every single one of them gets listed. (if you listen to 
one of those amateurs tell you how to list your site,  you 
may just get banned for life).

* How to Use Pay-Per-Click search engines to receive over 
10,000 visitors for only $100

* The Infamous Yahoo backdoor...You can get listed and we 
will show you the quickest and easiest method for doing so!

* And much, much more...

Even Better, You'll Get the Same Results For A Fraction of 
What Everyone Else Had to Pay!

Listen: A lot of people all over the world are gonna be 
furious with me for sharing these "Insider Secrets" with 
you...especially since you won't be paying even part of what 
they had to shell out for one top positioning page!

That's just too bad.  It's been a secret for too long.  So,
let me tell you what the deal is....

Contact us today using the below Risk-Free Response Form 
and you can have all of our secrets for only $139.00.

This price wouldn't even buy you 10 minutes of our time at
our regular submission fees, but you can own the top search
engine positions for less than the cost of a few classified
ads!  You will be learning everything we know about top 
positioning!

That, my friend, is the bargain of a lifetime for a serious
Internet marketer like yourself.  What’s more, the money is
actually irrelevant, because...

You Also Get a 90 Day No-Risk 100% Money-Back Guarantee!

Here's how it works.  Order your personal copy of this
CD-ROM, and use it like you own it.  If...For any reason
or no reason at all, you aren't completely satisfied after
90 days (by which I had over 47 Top 20 positions for my
own web site), just send the CD-ROM back in any condition,
and I personally guarantee you to get a complete refund
of your purchase price.  No questions asked.  No problems
or forms to fill out.  No problems at all.

PLUS, You Will Also Receive What is Considered to be by
most experts as the "Ultimate Bonus!"

For the first 50 people who fill out the below response
form and send it in, you will also receive UNLIMITED
REPRINT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS to this 
CD-ROM for LIFE!

I am not going to allow this CD-ROM to become like many
of those over-advertised products you see out there,
so only the first 50 will receive these rights.

This means that you will be able to use this exact same
sales letter, copy the CD-ROM yourself, and sell it

For $139.00 a copy, one sell will have breaking even.  Sell 
two copies and you will be in profit.This isn't even 
counting what the CD-ROM package will do for you!

Since only 50 people are going to have these rights...
you must take action today!

Yours in Success,
Michael Burgess

I guess it's not moderated. Can this list be made moderated, or should I

This has been discussed before, and basically because it's an IETF working 
group mailing list, it's not allowed to be moderated, censored, or 
pre-edited in any way.  Anyone must be allowed to post, even if they don't 
read the list.  I think that the IETF could remove that latter 
consideration, and require that posters be members of the mailing list 
(otherwise they ask questions that have been previously answered) before 
they post, but that's a matter, presumably, for another forum.

Alun.

This is not accurate. I run the UseFor mailing list from landfield.com
and I have discussed this with Keith Moore of the IETF. Here is the
exchange.

Keith Moore <moore@cs.utk.edu> responds:

# 
# if I understand this, it looks okay to me.  in particular, screening 
# of postings from non-members is fine as long as the postings are
# reviewed promptly, and as long as the mechanism is only used to 
# filter things that are clearly out of scope.  and there's no

I too am tired of the spam on the ftp-wg list... sigh...

Another fix would be to just change the name of the list.  I did that for
the telnet mailing list.  The old subscription address continues to work,
and if people subscribe to the old address, they get informed of the new
address for the list.  That got rid of all the spam on the telnet mailing
list.

Subject: Ftp-WG: Search Engine Secrets Discovered

"Amazing Search Engine Secrets Discovered By A Computer
Illiterate Man in Massachusetts Can Practically Hand
You the Top Search Engine Positions...And Add 1,550 
Hits a Day to Web Site Overnight!"

Dear Friend,

Remember the first time you built a web site. You stayed up 
until the early morning working it out so that it would be 
just perfect. Then, you were finally done and you sat back 
and thought, "The World is Good."

After that, you've dreamed of all the visitors your site 
would have, how they would all see your ad and buy your 
product.  Then it hit you, like a ton of bricks....How was 
anyone going to find your web site?

You thought about it for a while and eventually thought you 
had the answer....submit your site to the search engines. 
But after you submitted your site you checked it out and 
couldn't find it.

So you waited a few days.....and still nothing

You couldn't even find your site if you looked up your own 
name!!!

Then, you got discouraged....after all that hard work 
NOTHING?!?!?

And this is where most people give up.....
BUT You Don't Have To...

You can achieve top 20 positioning for your web site...and 
the tens of thousands of hits which come with it...if you 
have the "Right" information available to you.

For Example, did you know:

* Infoseek, Alta Vista, and HotBot ban web sites which break 
their rules (many of the 'insider' techniques most experts
recommend will get you banned faster than you could imagine).

* Many search engines limit the number of pages you can 
submit from your domain (some only allow you to submit one 
page for best results), although we can show you a technique 
we use to get hundreds of our pages listed.

* Yahoo only lists about 1% of the web in their actual 
directory.  To even get your page listed, you may have to 
use the "backdoor".

* Using a so-called search engine submission software that 
submits your site to 1,000 or more search engines could 
actually get your page deleted from the major search engines.

* 95% of Internet traffic originates at one of the 10 major
search engines...If you're not listed, you might as well
not even have a web site!

* Choosing the most effective 'keywords' is one of the major
keys to a successful web site submission...Pick the right 
ones and your web site will look like Grand Central Station 
during rush hour!

It has taken us over 2 years to learn how to consistently and 
without fail place any type of web site in the top 20 of the 
major search engines.

Normally, we charge $500 per keyword that you want a top 
ranking on (plus a monthly fee of $150 for keeping that rank), 
but we have found we just don't have enough time for all of 
the clients that desperately need our services...

So, we have produced a "Search Engine Magic" interactive
CD-ROM that will show you step by step how to create pages
which storm the search engines and lay hold to the precious 
Top 20 positions that millions of people are trying to reach.

The Search Engine Magic CD-ROM consists of 21 interactive 
video and audio lessons that will run on any IBM compatible 
computer showing you the exact step-by-step process we use 
to traffic thousands of visitors to our web sites every 
single day.

You will learn:

* Three Different Methods We Use to Pick the Best Traffic 
Producing Keywords for any web site...and how you can have 
a list of hundreds of popular keywords in only a few minutes.

* How Quick and Easy it is to Create 'Doorway' and 'Hallway' 
pages for the search engines so that you could possibly have 
thousands of different pages on your domain all pulling in 
visitors for your site 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

* The Secret Weapon that gives you an "Unfair Advantage" over 
your competition...and virtually assures you will reach the 
top positions (don't let your competitors hear about this one 
first or you will be in trouble).

* How to Submit Your Pages to the Search Engines and assure 
that every single one of them gets listed. (if you listen to 
one of those amateurs tell you how to list your site,  you 
may just get banned for life).

* How to Use Pay-Per-Click search engines to receive over 
10,000 visitors for only $100

* The Infamous Yahoo backdoor...You can get listed and we 
will show you the quickest and easiest method for doing so!

* And much, much more...

Even Better, You'll Get the Same Results For A Fraction of 
What Everyone Else Had to Pay!

Listen: A lot of people all over the world are gonna be 
furious with me for sharing these "Insider Secrets" with 
you...especially since you won't be paying even part of what 
they had to shell out for one top positioning page!

That's just too bad.  It's been a secret for too long.  So,
let me tell you what the deal is....

Contact us today using the below Risk-Free Response Form 
and you can have all of our secrets for only $139.00.

This price wouldn't even buy you 10 minutes of our time at
our regular submission fees, but you can own the top search
engine positions for less than the cost of a few classified
ads!  You will be learning everything we know about top 
positioning!

That, my friend, is the bargain of a lifetime for a serious
Internet marketer like yourself.  What’s more, the money is
actually irrelevant, because...

You Also Get a 90 Day No-Risk 100% Money-Back Guarantee!

Here's how it works.  Order your personal copy of this
CD-ROM, and use it like you own it.  If...For any reason
or no reason at all, you aren't completely satisfied after
90 days (by which I had over 47 Top 20 positions for my
own web site), just send the CD-ROM back in any condition,
and I personally guarantee you to get a complete refund
of your purchase price.  No questions asked.  No problems
or forms to fill out.  No problems at all.

PLUS, You Will Also Receive What is Considered to be by
most experts as the "Ultimate Bonus!"

For the first 50 people who fill out the below response
form and send it in, you will also receive UNLIMITED
REPRINT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS to this 
CD-ROM for LIFE!

I am not going to allow this CD-ROM to become like many
of those over-advertised products you see out there,
so only the first 50 will receive these rights.

This means that you will be able to use this exact same
sales letter, copy the CD-ROM yourself, and sell it

For $139.00 a copy, one sell will have breaking even.  Sell 
two copies and you will be in profit.This isn't even 
counting what the CD-ROM package will do for you!

Since only 50 people are going to have these rights...
you must take action today!

Yours in Success,
Michael Burgess

Subject: Ftp-WG: ftp server and client that support RFC 2640



Seems to me a similar question was asked recently by Brad with limited
success, but here goes.

I am looking for both a client and server ftp that supports RFC 2640
(UTF-8 encoding and LANG command).   I need to interoperability test my own
ftp client and server.   If you know of a platform/release that supports
RFC 2640, please append.  If you are trying to sell your RFC 2640 compliant
implementation, we'll probably buy one just for our testing.

Thanks!
Janet C. Wolf

>From WS_FTP Server v1.05 Release Notes:

# Added full UTF8 support.  Since some browsers have a problem
# with UTF8, the only time UTF8 encoding is used is when the
# languages is other than EN or if "SITE UTF8" has been sent.
# UTF8 decoding is always supported.

Currently, the only language listed in the FEAT response in EN.

Record Initial Ship for J-Bird Records Rockapella 2 Enters North American
Marketplace Representing J-Bird Records' Most Successful Initial Shipment
of CDs to the Retail Community 
 
WILTON, Conn., Mar 28, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Rockapella 2

of which are included on the new CD courtesy of the Procter & Gamble
Company.
