One of the old RFCs (RFC-1123) defined a method for adding "experimntal"
commands that a client could send to a server.  These commands were
created by adding the "X" in front of a few of the existing RFC-959
commands.

There was a small thread about this question about a month ago & TJ
explained the use of commands like XMKD...  Apparently, some clients use
these commands rather than the RFC-959 versions, so an RFC- compliant server
needs to handle the "X" commands and equate them to their RFC-959
equivalents.

HTH,

Matt
