>Unfortunately dropping the "quote" and keeping just "site" does not work either. I was hoping there was a way to get it to work via the FTP client.

It works for me with MS FTP server

oFtp = NEWOBJECT("FTP_SERVICE", "ftp.prg")
? oFTP.OpenInternet("anonymous", "a@b.com","ftp.microsoft.com", "21")
? oFTP.Ftpcommand("SITE HELP", 2,  0, NULL)
? oFTP.getextendederrormsg ()
? oFTP.Ftpcommand("SITE STATS", 2,  0, NULL)
? oFTP.getextendederrormsg ()
