Your list semms to be missing RFC 765. I build an ftpd on an oddball
host (HP-BASIC) based mainly on the protocol description in this RFC.
Others may add information, but this one is a good start. It is
available on the automated mail service at nic.ddn.mil

Send mail to: service@nic.ddn.mil
subject: RFC 765

No message text is required. You will recieve an e-mail reply in about 1
day. Some large RFCs are send in pieces.
