ftp commands

Hi everybody,

1 I wanted to know if the commands that are sent via the
ftp control connection may be split across more than
one TCP segment or will always go in a single TCP
segment. And why so?
(For example, if the client issues a command like
PORT or PUT, is it possible that first few characters
go in a segment and the next in a different segment and so on..)

2 A related question is whether it is possible to look at a
ftp packet at the network level and and say for sure the
offset at which the ftp commands will be present.

TIA
gopi
