Subject: [901] Remote commands?

I've been trying to use the remote commands, to no avail. I keep 
     getting messages like:
     
     ftp> remote user
     214 Syntax: USER <sp> username
     ftp>
     
     What am I supposed to enter in place of <sp>? Clearly it doesn't mean 
     sapce...
     
     And in particular, I've been trying to use the remote site commands, 
     group and gpass, with the same problem. If anyone could provide 
     specific help, beyond what I've already read in the man pages, I would 
     appreciate it.
     
     Also, are there any documents which fill in the gaps the man pages 
     leave?
     
     P.S. This ftpd is running on a RX/6000, under AIX.

	Try using:
ftp> quote site group <group>
ftp> quote site gpass <passwd>

also look into ncftp a really neat ftp client.
