The ALLO command should be treated as a NOOP (no operation)

ALLOCATE (ALLO)

This command may be required by some servers to

reserve sufficient storage to

accommodate the new file to be transferred. The

argument shall be a decimal

integer representing the number of bytes (using the

logical byte size) of

storage to be reserved for the file. For files sent

with record or page

structure a maximum record or page size (in logical

bytes) might also be

necessary; this is indicated by a decimal integer in a

second argument field of

the command. This second argument is optional, but

when present should be

separated from the first by the three Telnet

characters <SP> R <SP>. This

command shall be followed by a STORe or APPEnd

command. The ALLO command should

be treated as a NOOP (no operation) by those servers

which do not require that

the maximum size of the file be declared beforehand,

and those servers

interested in only the maximum record or page size

should accept a dummy value

in the first argument and ignore it.

Triage suggestion

FileZilla Server 0.9.60 supports the ALLO command, though it responds with "202 No storage allocation neccessary".

Note that "neccessary" is misspelled -- this should be fixed.

I suggest closing this feature request.
