From: Vince.Fuller@CMU-CS-C.ARPA

I recently received a request to modify the TOPS-20 FTP server to selectively
accept/reject the "SITE xxx" based on the paramater, "xxx". In particular, Unix
systems are evidentally sending "SITE UNIX" to do something special which the
TOPS-20's aren't doing. My question is: how should an FTP server handle the
"SITE" command? A quick read of RFC765 mentions SITE, but that's about it - it
doesn't say what the command should do.
