Detailed Description

Encapsulates the server identification and capability data returned in a CSID reply.

When the component sends a CSID (Client System Identification) command, modern FTP servers respond with their own identification string. This interface parses that response into structured properties, specifically identifying the server software and its filesystem behavior.
