Introduction
In case you ever get some odd message from an FTP and don't understand
what it's saying. Here is a list of the error codes and what they
mean in English. I got this list from the Internet RFC/STD/FYI/BCP
Archives and tweaked it to my liking.
Error Listing
- 110 Restart marker reply. In this case, the text is exact and
not left to the particular implementation; it must read: MARK yyyy = mmmm
Where yyyy is User-process data stream marker, and mmmm server's
equivalent marker (note the spaces between markers and "=").
