No, there's a lot more to it than that. Just look at the man page or
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html

I don't have an answer to the original question, but I do know that
I've used servers that don't have features that other servers do
have, so his question isn't silly as you imply.

Tank you.
I know this document, but I don't want check all ftp's commands and
all functionality manually. I'm useing this deamon in embedded
aplication and I want to be shure that this server is stable and have
implemented the highest possible quantity and functionality listed in
RFC959. I looking for aplication that check this.

My main concern would be for security of the FTP daemon. I'd check
some vulnerability databases for open issues, and also make sure you
have an update process to know if security problems arise, and the
code needs to be updated.

If it's running under windows, you might consider an application
sandbox program like sandboxie, and create a sandbox, and run the FTP
daemon inside of that. That will protect your windows machine.
