Thanks goes to "Tom Webster" <webster_at_ssdpdc.lgb.cal.boeing.com> for

Additional information: We have a customer who needs us to test support
for the "quote" command to be used when sending them files from some of
our client software. The need is based on setting up proper file
parameters such as logical record length.
Tom suggested using wu-ftpd and checking the FAQ at
http://www.hvu.nl/~koos/wu-ftpd-faq.html
"quote" as it turns out is just a client command to allow other unknown
commands to be passed directly to the ftp server. Without using "quote"
any command should be interpreted by the ftp client, and thus new
commands will be unavailable.
I have not found my solution exactly yet, and since this is turning into
a more ftpd issue I'll leave you all with the resource I am currently
exploiting. The wu-ftpd mailing list archive search engine:
