no help

[anatoly techtonik]

No "man pyftp", no "pyftpd --help". How to use that at all?

[Benjamin Kerensa (bkerensa)]

Can you please inform us what release of Ubuntu you are running and also could you run "dpkg -s pyftpd" from terminal without the quotes and add the output here.

I was unable to reproduce this bug on 12.04 and 13.04 and found a working man page.

If you take a look at this man page - it says nothing. "pyftpd --help" doesn't work either.
