These sites   include Argonne National Laboratory (IBM 360/195), Lawrence Berkeley   Labs, (CDC 7600), and New York University (CDC 6600).  Our   applications make early implementation of an RJE facility imperative,   and although we are resigned to the necessity of implementing FTP, we   would like to avoid RJE protocol at least in the first go-around.  We   would like to be able to use FTP to transfer a file, have it queued   for execution, and return output and status information.        To this end we propose to implement local conventions within the   site dependent PATHNAME parameter of the FTP.  Specifically, the   following commands are specified:STOR           RJE.JOB<rest of pathname>  queue this file for execution(STOR/RETR)    RJE.PR <    >              transfer remote job print file(STOR/RETR)    RJE.PU <    >                 "        "    "  punch   "(STOR/RETR)    RJE.MT <    >                 "        "    "  magtape "RETR           RJE.STAT  <    >           retrieve  status of remote job        The job execution parameters are not part of the protocol, but   must be specified in the standard site dependent control cards which   are transmitted with the file.  These parameters also determine the   output disposition, and the output can be retrieved by the user via   RETR, or (optionally) automatically by server initiation via STOR.*   The RETR RJE.STAT causes the server to create a file with the status   information and transfer it to the user.  The FTP user/acct/pass   logon is used only to validate the data transfer, not the job's right   to execute, and to identify and distribute the output.Feinroth & Fink                                                 [Page 1]

RFC 551                                                      August 1973        We are concerned that we may have overlooked some problems which   are obvious to more knowledgeable people and invite (and request)   comments.   *  note that in this case the RJE server is an FTP user.
