 ===== Transfer Mode =====
+Each transfer is equivalent to the transfer of one message of the standard protocol. It SHALL NOT be followed by the ''Ctrl+Z'' character, the end of file specifier is defined in another way.
+The first transmitted data block MUST contain the full binary file's CRC16 checksum, the full uncompressed file size as a 32 bit little-endian integer, and the binary content of the file, starting from the start of the file, or from the requested offset, depending on the decision transmitted through the selective retrieval command.
+In case of a checksum error, the message or the file MUST NOT be considered as transmitted. The system MUST send the comment, then issue a disconnect request.
