A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Extensions to FTP Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: UTF-8 Option for FTP
	Author(s)	: G. Lundberg
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ftpext-utf-8-option-00.txt
	Pages		: 11

This document specifies an extension to the File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) which provides for inter-operation between existing
implementations and those supporting the exchange of UTF-8 encoded
pathnames, and clarifies certain issues involved with UTF-8 encoding.
It introduces a new option, UTF-8, negotiated by use of the OPTS
command.  Through use of this option, the user informs the server of
its willingness to accept UTF-8 encoded pathnames.  The proposed
extension requires that neither party transmit UTF-8 encoded
pathnames without having first successfully negotiated this option.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
