-(FTP) Send an arbitrary command to the remote FTP server, by using the QUOTE
-command of the server. Not all servers support this command, and the set of
-QUOTE commands are server specific! Quote commands are sent BEFORE the
-transfer is taking place. To make commands take place after a successful
-transfer, prefix them with a dash '-'. You may specify any amount of commands
-to be run before and after the transfer. If the server returns failure for one
-of the commands, the entire operation will be aborted.
