Using site command in ftp

Is there documentation on using the site command within an ftp session and what options are available on the site command ?

See

# man ftpd

everything is there.

Once connected, you should issue the command "site help" to see which commands are supported by this FTP implementation. Careful scripting would never make assumptions about which of these commands are implemented.

Very important: SITE (and QUOTE) commands are defined by the remote side (ftpd in the case of most Unix servers). So the availability of specific SITE commands is completely under the control of the remote system. Many sysadmins will lockout high risk commands that could probe the system for security information.
