Acct Method
Sends an Account command.
Syntax
ftpclient.acct(acctInfo, [callback])
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for this method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
Remarks
Some servers require the ACCT command to be sent after signing in to grant access to specific server resources.
Reply codes sometimes allow to differentiate the handling of ACCT command:
- when account information is required for login, the response to a successful PASSword command is reply code 332;
- if account information is NOT required for login, the reply to a successful PASSword command is 230;
- if account information is needed for a command issued later in the dialogue, the server should return a 332 or 532 reply depending on whether it stores (pending receipt of the ACCounT command) or discards the command, respectively.
