The following table shows the +FTPSTAT parameters.
Example
When the user enters +FTPSTAT command without parameters, the last requested status within actual
FTP connection returns. When there is first status request within actual FTP connection, the remote server
returns general FTP connection status, like in the following example:
The first example illustrates +FTPSTAT command without parameter first time (for actual FTP
connection) use. In this case general FTP connection status returns.

which does not exist on the remote server file. In this case, the remote server returns "No such file or
