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 more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.

Connection identifier, returned by FTPConnect.
<New current directory>: Character string

Remarks
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.
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.
