4.4.8 FTP Reply Codes

 As you use the subcommands, messages are returned to your display.  The
   messages are preceded by a three-digit reply code (a value sent by the
   system to a program to indicate the results of an operation by that
   program).  Some of the reply codes and descriptions are shown in
   Table 9-2.  Because the message text is sent from the server system, it
   will vary from system to system.
