    I don't know how long it will take FTAM to replace FTP, (or even if
    it ever will), but it has all of the enhancements being discussed,
    such as recovery-restart at checkpoints, and the optional use of
    compression mechanisms when moving files.  Currently, the mechanisms
    for negotiating the compression method are defined; one could define
    a compression mode, e.g., ARC, or the 4.3BSD compress, or ..., and
    then those could be negotiated.
