An example of the use of the FTP QUOTE command to do non-FTP things is in the ADAM2 bootloader, which is the bootloader used in some DSL routers. wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.flashing.ftp

Interesting: The "r" in rsh is for remote (but probably it is the same thing: it is restricted because it is remote). On my Debian, when you invoke it, you get ssh! (And man rsh also gets you the ssh manpage, which says ssh replaces rsh and some other tools.) On my school's Solaris system, it is still there.

@Emanuel Berg: two "rsh" exist, one is "Remote Shell" the other is "Restricted" shell. Nobody in these modern times should use remote shell. Everything passes over the network in cleartext.

@BruceEdiger There exists a Kerberized version of rsh, which is encrypted over the network. But ssh tends to be more common.
