RMDA FTP command
The RMDA command allows clients to perform a recursive delete operation a directory using a single command. Typically deleting a directory with many subdirectories and files will force the user to wait for the client to issue DELE and RMD commands to each file and directory, preventing the user from doing any work until the operations are completed. Issuing the RMDA command unloads that operation to the server, allowing the client to continue working unhindered.
Common responses:
XRMD FTP command
REST FTP command
The REST command is used to specify a marker to the server for the purposes of resuming a file transfer . Issuing the REST command does not actually initiate the transfer. After issuing a REST command, the client must send the appropriate FTP command to transfer the file. The server will use the marker specified in the REST command to resume file transfer at the specified point.
Common responses:
RNFR FTP command
THMB FTP command
The THMB command allows clients to view a small thumbnail copy of an image before downloading the full image. When the THMB command is issued, the server dynamically generates thumbnails of the specified size and sends the images to the client, using far less bandwidth than would be necessary to send the whole image.
