Support for FTP about or backend for quota information

Hi,

Similar to the md5sum command, is it feasible to suggest a similar command to print quota information for a given FTP backend? It seems like 'about' already exists, so maybe having a quota info command like:
ftp-quota-command=SITE QUOTA
would do the trick without introducing arbitrary "backend" commands and leaning on the existing about.

My use case is users who use a proftpd, but don't know it because rclone is just so damned useful. :slight_smile: Installing and firing up an Ftp client just to do a Site Quota is not ideal. Thanks for reading to the end!

hi,
is this what you mean, which is for sftp to rsync.net

rclone about rsync:
Total:   110 GiB
Used:    101.640 MiB
Free:    109.901 GiB

whoops, I included SFTP because I saw them lopped into one group elsewhere. Will amend, thanks!

If I dump bodies I see a FEAT command is attempted, but not allowed with the default proftpd test server I'm using.

what do you think rclone can do about that?

Was just noting why there are a few extra lines for FEAT; Nothing.
