Actually we need to get right into the ftp protocol to add a new 
command.  This is to implement the Hylafax ftp protocol in Gfax.

An example is included below.


Trying localhost (127.0.0.1) at port 4559... 
Connected to localhost.domain. 
220 chaos.think-at-work.de server (HylaFAX (tm) Version 4.1beta2) ready.
-> USER bubeck 
230 User bubeck logged in. 
-> TYPE I 
200 Type set to Image. 
SEND compressed data, 182378 bytes 
-> PORT 127,0,0,1,4,19 
200 PORT command successful. 
-> MODE Z 
200 Mode set to ZIP. 
-> STOT 
150 FILE: /tmp/doc3.ps (Opening new data connection). 
SEND 27423 bytes transmitted (6.7x compression) 
226 Transfer complete (FILE: /tmp/doc3.ps). 
-> JNEW 
200 New job created: jobid: 3 groupid: 3. 
-> JPARM FROMUSER "Tilmann Bubeck"
