Change Current Directory

See more FTP Examples

To change the current remote directory, call ChangeRemoteDir. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

ftp = Chilkat::CkFtp2.new()

ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.example.com")
ftp.put_Username("login")
ftp.put_Password("password")

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Set the current directory (on the FTP server) to the
# "orders" subdirectory.  When logging into an FTP account,
# current remote directory is automatically set to the
# home directory of the FTP account.  From the FTP client's
# perspective, it will be "/", but the absolute path on the
# FTP server might be something like "/home/ftp_users/".
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("orders")
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

success = ftp.Disconnect()
