Description
Help is a procedure that retrieves the FTP server capabilities, and other helpful information, using the FTP HELP command. The return values in AHelpContents will reflect information regarding the server implementation status over the control connection to the user.

Help can send the optional argument in ACommand to request more specific information about about value returned in a previous call to Help. The server may use this reply to specify site-dependent parameters, e.g., in response to HELP SITE.

Note: Help has no effect if the FTP client is not Connected. Help can be used prior to Login or other forms of user authentication.
