Retrieves the current directory for the specified FTP session.

Syntax

BOOL FtpGetCurrentDirectory(
  __in     HINTERNET hConnect,
  __out    LPTSTR lpszCurrentDirectory,
  __inout  LPDWORD lpdwCurrentDirectory
);

Parameters

hConnect [in]

Handle to an FTP session.

lpszCurrentDirectory [out]

Pointer to a null-terminated string that receives the absolute path of the current directory.

lpdwCurrentDirectory [in, out]

Pointer to a variable that specifies the length of the buffer, in TCHARs. The buffer length must include room for a terminating null character. Using a length of MAX_PATH is sufficient for all paths. When the function returns, the variable receives the number of characters copied into the buffer.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. To get a specific error message, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If the lpszCurrentDirectory buffer is not large enough, lpdwCurrentDirectory receives the number of bytes required to retrieve the full, current directory name.
