Re: Commands via FTP on a target unix box...

There are a number of commands that are used for the library/file system.
Earliest form of FTP on 400 had only the lib/file format for ls, etc. Not
at all in sync with the rest of the world. It's better, I think, now.

Probably other proprietary stuff, too. No harm, I suppose, except bloat,
and usually unknown and unused.

Checked out the RFC for FTP <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt>. This has
the official standard stuff, as you know, I'm sure. RCMD is not part of it,
as you say.
