RFC 7151: File Transfer Protocol HOST Command for Virtual Hosts
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
The File Transfer Protocol, as defined in RFC 959, does not provide a way for FTP clients and servers to differentiate between multiple DNS names that are registered for a single IP address. This document defines a new FTP command that provides a mechanism for FTP clients and servers to identify individual virtual hosts on an FTP server.
