'Usage
 
Dim instance As FtpClient

Dim folder As String

 

instance.ChangeCurrentFolder(folder)

public void ChangeCurrentFolder( 

   string folder

)

Parameters

folder

The new current working folder. Some FTP servers may be case-sensitive!

Both relative and absolute paths can be provided to the ChangeCurrentFolder method to change the FTP server's current working folder, however some FTP servers might not support absolute paths and different server types may have different ways of representing absolute paths.

The FTP server's current working folder is used by the FTP server as the base folder from which to perform file operations such as obtaining folder contents, receiving, sending and deleting files, changing the current folder, etc.

The ChangeToParentFolder method should be used in the case where you want the parent folder to be the new current working folder.

The current working folder can be retrieved via the GetCurrentFolder method.

The ChangeCurrentFolder method will send the CWD command to the FTP server.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
