[ 3 ] Data Files

The FTP client treats files with extensions other than .PD3, .FN3, and .EX3 as data files.

Data file records consist of fields separated with line delimiters. An EOF (1Ah) at the end of the

data file is optional.

Data files are not limited to ASCII characters. They can use all bytes codes from 00h to FFh.

There can be 1 to 16 fields, each 1 to 254 bytes long. The sum of the field lengths and the

number of fields, however, must not exceed 255.

If the actual record length is different from the specified record length

The FTP client discards any excess beyond the specified record length during downloads.
