+The FTP application layer parser is enabled by default and uses dynamic protocol
+detection.
+
+By default, FTP control channel commands and responses are limited to 4096
+bytes, but this value can be changed. When a command request or response exceeds
+the line length limit, the stored data will be truncated, however the parser
+will continue to watch for the end of line and acquire the next command.
+Commands that are truncated will be noted in the *eve* log file with the fields
+``command_truncated`` or ``reply_truncated``. Please note that this affects the
+control messages only, not FTP data (file transfers).
