You might like to take a look at

http://search.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt

and perhaps at some of the RFCs that it references.  I found this by
searching the RFC index at

http://search.ietf.org/rfc.html

backwards, for the latest document.  However, RFC 959 refers to the
protocol, and you are talking about the user interface for ftp clients,
which is probably less standard.  Nevertheless, you might find some
ammunition in the relevant RFCs.

Good luck!  Francis
