HELP

Syntax: help [<command>]

FTP Command Index

HELP displays a short summary of FTP commands. You can type HELP <command> at the FTP command line to see information on a specific FTP command. For a listing of FTP commands without descriptions, enter HELP at the command line.

With many FTP servers, you can enter QUOTE HELP at the command line for a list of commands the server recognizes. Entering QUOTE HELP <command> sometimes gives more detailed information about the command. See QUOTE for more information.

note

HELP displays the FTP command list even if you have made an SFTP connection. Click here for a list of commands available during SFTP sessions.
