Suppose I want to transfer just a portion of a file over FTP - is it possible using a standard FTP protocol?
In HTTP I could use a Range header in the request to specify the data range of the remote resource. If it's a 1mb file, I could ask for the bytes from 600k to 700k.
Is there anything like that in FTP? I am reading the FTP RFC, don't see anything, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
There's a Restart command in FTP - would that work?
