Line delimiters inside data records

The FTP client can send and receive all codes from 00h to FFh as described above. The treat-

ment of line delimiters (CR-LF, CR, or LF) inside downloaded data records is under application

control. The default is to split the incoming stream into short records.

Alternatively, the FTP client can ignore any line delimiters inside downloaded data records,

treating them as data. Note, however, that the specified line delimiters must appear in the

specified positions between records. Otherwise, the FTP client cancels the transfer with an

error because a record is either too long or too short.
