Changes to a different working directory on the FTP server.

Syntax

BOOL FtpSetCurrentDirectory(
  __in  HINTERNET hConnect,
  __in  LPCTSTR lpszDirectory
);

Parameters

hConnect [in]

Handle to an FTP session.

lpszDirectory [in]

Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the name of the directory to become the current working directory. This can be either a fully qualified path or a name relative to the current directory.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise. To get a specific error message, call GetLastError. If the error message indicates that the FTP server denied the request to change a directory, use InternetGetLastResponseInfo to determine why.

Remarks

An application should use FtpGetCurrentDirectory to determine the remote site's current working directory, instead of assuming that the remote system uses a hierarchical naming scheme for directories.

The lpszDirectory parameter can be either partially or fully qualified file names relative to the current directory.
