Syntax

Finding out the current directory Hide the details

<Result> = FTPCurrentDir(<Connection identifier>)

<Result>: Character string

Absolute name of current directory on the FTP server,
Empty string ("") if an error occurred. To get the details of the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.

<Connection identifier>: Integer

Connection identifier, returned by FTPConnect.
This parameter is a Variant parameter.

Modifying the current directory Hide the details

<Result> = FTPCurrentDir(<Connection identifier> , <New current directory>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the current directory was modified,
False otherwise. To get the details of the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.

<Connection identifier>: Integer

Connection identifier, returned by FTPConnect.

<New current directory>: Character string (with quotes)

Name and full (or relative) path of new current directory. The different path sections are separated by "slashes" ("/").

Remarks

Timeout

By default, all the FTP functions fail if the FTP server does not respond within 20 seconds. This timeout can be modified with FTPConnect when connecting to the FTP server.

Internet browser

FTPCurrentDir requires Internet Explorer version 3 or later.

If a problem occurs, we recommend that you run a test with the browser by directly passing a link such as "ftp://server/...". If a problem occurs with Internet Explorer (with a UNIX server for example), use FTPCommand directly.

Rights of users

Only a user who has write rights on the FTP server can handle the files or the directories found on an FTP server. In most cases, no write rights are granted to the "anonymous" users.

Required permissions

The call to this function modifies the permissions required by the application.
Required permission : INTERNET
This permission allows the applications to open the network sockets.
