Getting a description of each command

You can get a short description of each ftp command by typing help followed by the command you want to know more about and pressing the <RETURN> key. For example:

   ftp> help open
   open	    connect to remote tftp
   ftp>

If you find this description is too brief you will find a much fuller one for each command in the Unix Programmer's Manual pages for ftp.
