 Initiate a transfer over the data connection.  If the transfer is
 active, send a \samp{PORT} command and the transfer command specified
 by \var{cmd}, and accept the connection.  If the server is passive,
 send a \samp{PASV} command, connect to it, and start the transfer
 command.  Either way, return the socket for the connection.

+If optional \var{rest} is given, a \samp{REST} command is
+sent to the server, passing \var{rest} as an argument.  \var{rest} is
+usually a byte offset into the requested file, telling the server to
+restart sending the file's bytes at the requested offset, skipping
+over the initial bytes.  Note however that RFC
+959 requires only that \var{rest} be a string containing characters
+in the printable range from ASCII code 33 to ASCII code 126.  The
+\method{transfercmd()} method, therefore, converts
+\var{rest} to a string, but no check is
+performed on the string's contents.  If the server does

+\exception{error_reply} exception will be raised.  If this happens,
