HElp and ? subcommands—Display help information

Purpose

Use the HElp subcommand to get assistance with the FTP subcommands.

All: The client displays a description of all the subcommands it implements.
PROXY: When used, displays a description of all subcommands available on the proxy subcommand.
subcommand: Displays a description of the specified subcommand. The subcommand name can be abbreviated to its minimum abbreviation.
Server: Displays the help that the foreign host offers for the specified command.
If you do not specify a command, FTP displays a list of the commands that the foreign host recognizes.

If you enter the HElp subcommand without a parameter, you see the HElp FTP MENU, which lists the subcommands recognized by the FTP client and a description of the help information available.
If you enter the ? subcommand by itself, you see introductory information about FTP.
Note: To receive help from a server on a secondary control connection, enter PROXy HElp SERVER. See PROXy subcommand—Execute FTP subcommand on secondary control connections for more information.
