==Current FTP Standard Specification==

The latest FTP standard specification implemented by the Internet Engineering Task Force ([[IETF]]) was RFC 959 which was published by Jon Postel and [[Joyce Reynolds]] on October 1985. The current RFC included new commands such as CDUP (Change to Parent Directory), SMNT (Structure Mount), STOU (Store Unique), RMD (Remove Directory), MKD (Make Directory), PWD (Print Directory) and SYST (System).<ref>[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc959 RFC 959]</ref>
