REST FTP command

The REST command is used to specify a marker to the server for the purposes of resuming a file transfer. Issuing the REST command does not actually initiate the transfer. After issuing a REST command, the client must send the appropriate FTP command to transfer the file. The server will use the marker specified in the REST command to resume file transfer at the specified point.
