FtpSetCurrentDirectoryA function (wininet.h)
Changes to a different working directory on the FTP server.
Syntax
BOOL FtpSetCurrentDirectoryA(
[in] HINTERNET hConnect,
[in] LPCSTR lpszDirectory
);
Parameters
[in] hConnect
Handle to an FTP session.
[in] lpszDirectory
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.
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
The wininet.h header defines FtpSetCurrentDirectory as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors.
