DEFAULT

  Sets the default working directory to the specified directory.

  Whenever a remote file specification does not include a directory
  name, the current default directory is merged with the remote
  file name to create a complete file specification.

  FORMAT:
   SET DEFAULT ["]directory_name["]

  EXAMPLE:
   SET DEFAULT "/usr/temp"     ->ULTRIX host

   SET DEFAULT [usr.temp]      ->VMS host

MODE

  Mode defines how data is to be transferred.  The only mode
  supported by FTP is STREAM mode.

  FORMAT:
   SET MODE mode-name

  EXAMPLE:
   SET MODE stream

STRU

  Structure defines the structure of a file that is to be
  transferred.  FILE structure is the default structure and the only
  structure that is supported.

  FORMAT:

TYPE

   Type defines the data representation type for data transfers.
   Two types of data representation are supported: ASCII and IMAGE.

   to correctly transfer text files.  IMAGE type must be selected
   to correctly transfer non ascii (binary) files.
