FtpRemoveDirectory function

Removes the specified directory on the FTP server.

Syntax


BOOL FtpRemoveDirectory(
  _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 be removed. 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 remove 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.

Like all other aspects of the WinINet API, this function cannot be safely called from within DllMain or the constructors and destructors of global objects.

Note WinINet does not support server implementations. In addition, it should not be used from a service. For server implementations or services use Microsoft Windows HTTP Services (WinHTTP).
