   The remote host displays the FTP help information. If the remote
   host is a UNIX host, the FTP help is all UNIX style. If you want
   to display information about a specific command, the /REMOTE
   qualifier must follow the HELP command and precede the name
   of any command for which you want information, as shown in the
   second example.
