STAT

STATUS

This command causes a status response to be sent as a reply. The command may be sent during a file transfer to view the status of the operation in progress. It may also be sent between file transfers in which case, the command may include a pathname and is analogous to the "list" command, except that data shall be transferred over the control connection. If no argument is given, the server returns general status information about the FTP server itself. This can include current values of all transfer parameters and the status of connections.
