Abstract


The File Transfer Protocol, as defined in RFC 959 [RFC0959], does not
  provide a way for FTP clients and servers to differentiate between
  multiple DNS names that are registered for a single IP address.  This
  document defines a new FTP command that provides a mechanism for FTP
  clients and servers to identify individual virtual hosts on an FTP
  server.
