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 : FTP Extensions for IPv6
Author(s) : S. Ostermann, C. Metz, M. Allman
Filename : draft-ietf-ftpext-ftp-over-ipv6-02.txt
Pages : 7
Date : 01-May-98
The specification for the File Transfer Protocol assumes that the
underlying network protocol uses a 32-bit network address
(specifically IP version 4). With the deployment of version 6 of
the Internet Protocol, network addresses will no longer be 32-bits.
This paper specifies extensions to FTP that will allow the protocol
to work over IPv4 and IPv6. In addition, the framework defined can
support additional network protocols in the future.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-ftpext-ftp-over-ipv6-02.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-ftp-over-ipv6-02.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ftpext-ftp-over-ipv6-02.txt".
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.
Note Well: Messages sent to this mailing list are the opinions of the senders and do not imply endorsement by the IETF.
