 | | Pogran [Page 2] RFC 501 Un-Muddling "Free File Transfer" 11 May 1973 Over the telephone, Bob explained to me that he desired a mechanism which would, for example, enable me, at his request, to transfer a file from my system to his directory on his system, without requiring that I know his password. |
 | | The addition of code to the File Transfer Server which examines the pathname given for each request, to determine which sort it is, seems to be antithetical to the goals of uniformity and generality that many of today's systems have achieved. |
 | | Pogran [Page 4] RFC 501 Un-Muddling "Free File Transfer" 11 May 1973 [3] Note that there are at least two scenarios for accomplishing the transfer Bressler desires: Either I "push" the file, using my "User FTP" and his system's "FTP Server", or he "pulls" the file, using his "User FTP" and my system's "FTP Server". |
