        // The ProxyMethod should be an integer value between 1 and 5.
        // If you know your FTP proxy server's authentication scheme,
        // you may set it directly.  To determine the ProxyMethod,
        // call DetermineProxyMethod.  A return value of -1 indicates a failure.
        // A return value of 0 indicates that nothing worked.
        // A return value of 1-5 indicates the ProxyMethod that was
        // successful, and this should be the value used for the ProxyMethod
        // property.
