+Network Working Group                               17 March 1972
+Request For Comments # 309                          Abhay Bhushan
+NIC # 9260                                                MIT-MAC

+              DATA AND FILE TRANSFER WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT
+              --------------------------------------------
+
+        MIT will host a workshop on Data and File Transfer, Friday,
+   April 14 and Saturday, April 15, 1972.  People have expressed an
+   interest in revising the existing ARPANET Data and File Transfer
+   Protocols (RFC # 264 and RFC # 265), to make them more suitable
+   to fulfill the now better understood ARPANET requirements.
+
+        The objective of this workshop is to arrive at a unified
+   convention for ARPANET data and file transfer.  It is important
+   that we adequately consider the needs of TIP users, DATACOMPUTER
+   users, remote job entry users, and the major ARPANET service
+   systems.
+
+        In addition to the current members of the data and file
+   transfer protocol committee, I have invited a number of
+   interested parties to talk and participate in this workshop.  On
+   the first day's agenda is a list of speakers who have agreed to
+   discuss their respective interests in data and file transfer.  If
+   your interests have not been represented and you would like to
+   give a presentation or discuss a specific area, please contact me
+   (617-864-6900 Ext. 1428).
+
+        Participants are encouraged to have written position papers
+   ready at the time of this meeting.  If possible, these papers
+   should be distributed as NWG/RFCs or informal notes to workshop
+   invitees, prior to the workshop.
+
+        As this meeting is intended to be an intensive workshop,
+   with the second half devoted to a detailed specification of
+   protocol, it will be necessary to limit attendance.  The
+   attendance to this meeting is by invitation only.  A list of
+   invitees is attached.  If you have not been invited, and would
+   like to attend the workshop, please contact me.
+
+        Hotel reservations may be made at Random House, operated by
+   MIT's Real Estate office ($5.00 to $7.00/night), by contacting
+   either me or Sue Pitkin (617-864-6900 Ext. 1450)  before March
+   31st.  If you would prefer other hotel accomodations instead, a
+   convenient hotel is the Fenway motor Hotel (Tel. 617-492-4777).
+
+        Please contact either me or Sue Pitkin if you intend to come.

+   transfer protocols, incorporating specific ideas and changes in
+   the existing protocols.

+
+                 Tentative List of Items for Discussion
+                 --------------------------------------
+
+   Data Transfer Protocol (DTP)
+   ----------------------------
+
+        - DTP vs TELNET.  Concept of extended TELNET, or
+             allowing use of ASCII in DTP.
+
+        - Error Control and recovery in DTP (use of
+             error checks, restart, etc.)
+
+        - Modes available -- handshake, only one mode, or use
+             of default.
+
+        - Information separator, Aborts, and the Use
+             of Close (NCP-CLS) to Separate Information.
+
+        - Use of DTP with TIPs
+
+        - Use of DTP with DATACOMPUTER
+
+
+   File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
+   ----------------------------
+
+        - Use of ICP, inter-mixing data and control,
+             transferring files to third connections
+             (possibly to different sites)
+
+        - The command language ASCII or codes
+
+        - Handling of data types and physical storage.
+
+        - Handling of descriptors and logical structure
+
+        - Error control and error recovery
+
+        - Use of FTP with TIPs
+
+        - Use of FTP with DATACOMPUTER
+
+        - Uniform Pathnames and the ARPANET virtual file system.
