[Zope] ZServerFTP -- here's the code

[Robin Dunn]

Thanks.  That did the trick.  HomeSite is still a bit quirky on FTP with
ZServer, but it works in general.

FYI, these can be treated as NOOPs and just ack em with a 200 code.

MODE S  (stream) is the default anyway
STRU F (file) is also the default.

See ... streaming file of bytes == default FTP mode anyway.

Accept mode, if it's == S return 200 OK, else 500 not implemented.

In fact, here's the code for ftp_server.py

def cmd_stru (self, line):
'specify file structure'
# only F supported
t = string.lower (line[1])
if t <> 'f':
self.command_not_understood (string.join (line))
else:
self.respond ('200 STRU set to %s.' % t)

def cmd_mode (self, line):
'specify file mode'
# only S supported
t = string.lower (line[1])
if t <> 's':
self.command_not_understood (string.join (line))
else:
self.respond ('200 mode set to %s.' % t)

Add around line 329.. Tested and approved.. ;-)
