-=======FTP Server Help======= +
-=====ABOR.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-COMMAND +
- ABOR +
-SYNOPSIS +
-        Abort data connection. +
-SYNTAX +
- ABOR +
-DESCRIPTION +
-        The ABOR command tells the server to abort any data transfer +
-        currently in progress and close the data connection.  The control +
-        connection is not closed. +
-        If the data connection is not open, this command has no effect. +
-</code> +
-=====CDUP.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-The CDUP command changes the current working directory up one level to +
-the parent directory, i.e. it performs the function of "CWD .." +
-This command has no arguments, and if already at the root it has no effect. +
-See also: +
-   CWD   Change Working Directory +
-</code> +
-=====CWD.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-CWD changes the current working directory on the FTP server. +
-SYNTAX: CWD <pathname> +
-The server accepts both UNIX (e.g. pub/files) and DOS (e.g. pub\files) +
-pathname conventions, and is not case sensitive. +
-EXAMPLES: +
-        CWD FRED        Change to subdirectory FRED of current directory +
-        CWD ..          Change up one level to parent directory +
-        CWD /           Change to root directory +
-        CWD /FRED/JIM   Change to JIM subdirectory of FRED directory. +
-See also: +
-   CDUP   Change up one directory +
-</code> +
-=====DELE.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The DELE (delete) command deletes file(s) on the FTP server. +
-Syntax: +
-   DELE <filename> +
-Examples: +
-   DELE JIM.TXT         Delete file JIM.TXT from current directory. +
-   DELE /FRED/DOG.EXE   Delete DOG.EXE from directory /FRED +
-   DELE *.BAT           Delete all files with .BAT extension. +
-Notes: +
-   Wildcards '*' and '?' are accepted. +
-</code> +
-=====FTP.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-This FTP server accepts the following commands: +
-        ABOR    CDUP    CWD     DELE    HELP    LIST    MKD     MODE +
-        NLST    NOOP    PASS    PASV    PORT    PWD     QUIT    RETR +
-        RMD     RNFR    RNTO    STOR    STRU    SYST    TYPE    USER +
-All commands and arguments are case-insensitive, thus "cwd", "CWD" and +
-"cWd" are equally valid. +
-Both UNIX style (e.g. /pub/fred) and DOS style (e.g. \pub\fred) pathname +
-conventions are accepted. +
-To get more help on any of these commands type "HELP <command>", where +
-<command> is the command for which you want help, e.g. HELP RETR +
-</code> +
-=====HELP.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The HELP command gives help on FTP server commands. +
-Syntax: +
-   HELP [<command>] +
-Examples: +
-   HELP        Displays basic info and a list of commands +
-   HELP CWD    Gives information about the CWD command +
-Notes: +
-   Some FTP clients may intercept the HELP command to give help on client +
-   commands.  In this case, the REMOTEHELP command, if it is implemented +
-   should translate to a server HELP command.  If not, the client may have +
-   a command which passes commands "RAW" to the server. +
-   If all else fails, TELNET to port 21 and the HELP command will work. +
-</code> +
-=====LIST.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The LIST command lists FTP server directory contents. +
-Syntax: +
-   LIST [<filespec>] +
-Description: +
-   The LIST command causes a directory listing to be sent from the FTP +
-   server to the client over the data connection.  If the data connection +
-   cannot be established, the command will fail. +
-   The optional argument consists of a directory path and filename mask. +
-   If no path is specified, the current directory is assumed.  If no +
-   mask is specified, "*" (all files) is assumed.  Wildcards '*' and '?' +
-   are accepted.  +
-Examples: +
-   LIST              Displays all files in current directory +
-   LIST PUB          Lists all files in PUB subdirectory +
-   LIST /USR/*.EXE   Lists all executable files in /USR directory +
-See also: +

-   MKD /JIM/BILL      Create directory BILL in the /JIM directory +
-See also: +
-   RMD  Remove directory +
-</code> +
-=====MODE.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The MODE command specifies the data transfer mode. +
-Syntax: +
-   MODE <mode_code> +
-Description: +
-   MODE specifies how the data is to be formatted and transferred via +
-   the data connection.  Mode codes are as follows: +
-       B - Block         Data is sent in blocks +
-       C - Compressed    Data is compressed +
-       S - Stream        Data sent as continuous stream of characters +
-   The default transfer mode, which is the only one currently implemented, +
-   is Stream.  The command is included to prevent unnecessary error +
-   replies. +
-Examples: +
-   MODE S   Sets (S)tream transfer mode. +
-</code> +
-=====NLST.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   NLST (Name List) lists FTP server directory contents in short form. +
-Syntax: +
-   NLST [<filespec>] +
-Description: +
-   The NLST command causes a directory listing to be sent from the FTP +
-   server to the client over the data connection.  If the data connection +
-   cannot be established, the command will fail. +
-   The optional argument consists of a directory path and filename mask. +
-   If no path is specified, the current directory is assumed.  If no +
-   mask is specified, "*" (all files) is assumed.  Wildcards '*' and '?' +

-=====NOOP.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The NOOP (NO OPeration) command does nothing.  +
-Syntax: +
-   NOOP +
-Description: +
-   The NOOP does not affect anything, and its only action is to cause +
-   the server to send an "OK" reply.  It is perhaps useful for testing +
-   that the control connection is still functioning. +
-</code> +
-=====PASS.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The PASS (PASSword) command specifies user password at login. +
-Syntax: +
-   PASS <password> +
-Description: +
-   The argument to the PASS command can be either a string of 5 +
-   characters in response to the matrix challenge or, on secure links +
-   only, the password itself.  The string must not contain spaces. +
-   The command must be immediately preceeded by the USER command. +
-   If you are using an insecure link, you should choose one of the +
-   5 lines of the matrix, and send the corresponding 5 characters +
-   from your password.  Zero corresponds to the first character of +
-   the password. +
-Examples: +
-   PASS qreis       Matrix response (insecure links) +
-   PASS squirrels   Raw password (secure links only) +
-See also: +
-   USER   Specify your username. +
-</code> +
-=====PASV.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The PASV command requests "passive mode" transfer. +
-Syntax: +
-   PASV +
-Description: +
-   Normal FTP relies on the server being able to initiate a data +
-   connection on TCP port 20 of the client host.  This however may +
-   not be possible if the client is located behind a firewall or +
-   connection multiplexer. +
-   Passive mode opens the data connection on the server instead, +
-   informs the client of the IP adress and port number, then waits +
-   for the client to connect. +
-   The PASV command must be sent before each data transfer. +
-</code> +
-=====PORT.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   PORT specifies the IP address and port for the data connection. +
-Syntax: +
-   PORT h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2 +
-Description: +
-   The PORT command specifies the IP address and TCP port number to be +
-   used by the data connection.  The argument is the concatenation of +
-   a 32 bit IP address and a 16 bit TCP port number, broken into 8 bit +
-   fields, each field being transmitted as a decimal number.  The +
-   fields are seperated by commas, and the high order fields are +
-   transmitted first. +
-Example: +
-   PORT 44,131,91,2,4,1   Specifies IP address 44.131.91.2 and TCP +
-                          port number 0401 (1001 decimal) +
-Notes: +
-   Under normal circumstances this command is not needed.  The data +
-   connection defaults to TCP port 20 at the client's IP address of +
-   the control connection.  However, it allows data to be sent to +
-   a completely diffent host if required. +
-</code> +
-=====PWD.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Command: +
-   PWD (Print Working Directory) +
-Synopsis: +
-   Displays directory name currently logged at the FTP server. +
-Syntax: +

-Description: +
-   The PWD command causes the full path of the FTP server's current +
-   working directory to be displayed via the control connection. +
-See also: +
-   CWD  (Change Working Directory) +
-</code> +
-=====QUIT.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Synopsis: +
-   The QUIT command terminates an FTP session.   +
-Syntax: +
-   QUIT +
-Description: +
-   If a file transfer is not in progress, the QUIT command terminates +
-   the FTP session and closes the control connection. +
-   If file transfer is in progress, the control connection will remain +
-   open until transfer is complete, allowing the result code to be +
-   transmitted.  The control and data connections will then close. +
-   An unexpected close on the control connection will abort any data +
-   transfer currently in progress. +
-See also: +
-   ABOR  (Abort current command) +
-</code> +
-=====RETR.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Command: +
-   RETR (Retrieve File) +
-Synopsis: +
-   Downloads a file from the FTP server to the client. +
-Syntax: +
-   RETR <filename> +
-Description: +
-   The RETR command causes the named file to be sent from the FTP +
-   server to the client over the data connection.  If the file can't +
-   be found, access is denied or the data connection can't be opened +
-   an appropriate error message is returned. +
-Examples: +
-   RETR JIM.TXT         Download file JIM.TXT from current directory. +

-=====RNFR.HLP===== +
-<code> +
-Command: +
-   RNFR (Rename From) +
-Synopsis: +
-   Specifies a file to rename on the FTP server. +
-Syntax: +
-   RNFR <filename> +
-Description: +
-   The RNFR command specifies the old pathname of a file which is to be +
-   renamed, and must be immediately followed by an RNTO command.  The two +
-   commands together cause a file to be renamed. +
-   If the file isn't found, the request will be refused. +
-Examples: +
-   RNFR JIM.TXT         Rename file JIM.TXT in current directory. +

-   STOR <filename> +
-Description: +
-   The STOR command requests the FTP server to accept data via the data +
-   connection and store it as a file with the specified name. +
-   If the file specified in the pathname already exists at the server, +
-   it is overwritten by the new data. +
-Examples: +
