SOCKET trace output is primarily used by the network administrator and the support staff to diagnose problems on the local network. Normal users do not usually need any SOCKET trace output.
If SOCKET trace output is enabled, FTP displays various types of diagnostic information on the screen.

The permitted values are in the range 0 through 10. Higher parameter values display more information.
0 1 - 10 | No TRACE output (disable TRACE output). Displays information on SOCKET traces. |
If no operand is specified, the TRACE output setting is toggled, i.e. if TRACE output was enabled, it is disabled, and if it was disabled, it is enabled (trace-value=1). Parameter values greater than 1 imply the output of all TRACE information at the lower levels.
