Issue 4424: ftam-ftp FTF issue: Missing transfer operations                                                                                                                                                         (ftamftp-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: With FTP and FTAM it is possible to monitor the progress of data transfers
and to abort them. The current spec provides no way to terminate or determine
the progress of a transfer. Consider adding some way to obtain the status /
progress of a file transfer and to abort an in progress transfer.
Resolution: see above
Revised Text: Section 3.1.8 TransferEndPoint Interface/abort and get_transfer_status.
Actions taken:
July 25, 2001: received issue
Discussion: 
Resolution
The TransferEndPoint interface has an abort() and get_transfer_status() methods. The
abort() terminates the current transfer and get_transfer_status() returns a struct with
information about the current and maximum transfer octet counts. An implementation
may raise an exception indicating these operations are unsupported.
