QUOTE - UFTP configuration option
Description
The QUOTE option allows a protocol-specific command string to be sent directly to the host.
A QUOTE option command is not processed by the FTP Client. It is sent as-is to the FTP server, which then executes it as if it were entered in the FTP command shell.
You also can specify a command to be executed by the host with the COMMAND option.
- A QUOTE option command can be sent to the host with or without a COMMAND option command.
- A QUOTE option command always is executed before a COMMAND option command.

The complete list of FTP/S server commands is documented in RFC 5797 - FTP Command and Extension Registry.

Note
COMMAND commands should always be used when available instead of any protocol-specific command.
