    <p>Suppose I want to transfer just a portion of a file over FTP - is it possible using a standard FTP protocol? </p> <p>In HTTP I could use a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/716680/difference-between-content-range-and-range-headers">Range header</a> in the request to specify the data range of the remote resource. If it's a 1mb file, I could ask for the bytes from 600k to 700k.</p> <p>Is there anything like that in FTP? I am reading <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc959" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the FTP RFC</a>, don't see anything, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything. </p> <p>There's a Restart command in FTP - would that work?</p> <hr> <p><strong>Addendum</strong><br> After getting <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2538613/is-there-anything-in-the-ftp-protocol-like-the-http-range-header/2538739#2538739">Brian Bondy's answer below</a>, I wrote a read-only Stream class that wraps FTP. It supports Seek() and Read() operations on a resource that is read via FTP, based on the <code>REST</code> verb.<br> Find it at <a href="http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/srcview.aspx?dir=streams&amp;file=FtpReadStream.cs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/srcview.aspx?dir=streams&amp;file=FtpReadStream.cs</a></p> <p>It's pretty slow to Seek(), because setting up the data socket takes a long time. Best results come when you wrap that stream in a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.bufferedstream.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">BufferedStream</a>. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
