contain commands that are not supported by the FTP
server service.
The FTP server service is integrated with the Windows
security model. Users connecting to the FTP server
service are authenticated based on their Windows
Powered user accounts, and receive access based on
their user profiles. Keep in mind, however, that the
FTP Server protocol relies on the ability to pass user
passwords over the network without data encryption.
As a result, a user with physical access to the network
could examine user passwords during the FTP
validation process.

Network Protocol Overview: FTP
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be used
interactively. FTP is a service that, once started,
creates a sub-environment in which you can use FTP
commands, and from which you can return to the
Windows command prompt by typing the quit
subcommand. When the FTP sub-environment is
running, it is indicated by the FTP command prompt.
