FTPCD        Change to a new directory on an FTP site

Syntax:

FTPCD

[ dir name ]

Arguments:

[ dir name ]

Variable or string defining the new directory name.

Options:

None

 

 

 

This script command sets the current remote directory and writes the path to the console window. Any time Robo-FTP is connected to a remote site it has a current remote directory. By contrast, Robo-FTP always has a current working folder on the local PC.

 

The path of the current remote directory is saved in a internal script variable named %currentsitedir.

 

This is an example of the FTPCD command:

 

FTPCD "/newdirectory"

DISPLAY %currentsitedir

 

Like FTPCD, the FTPPWD script command also populates %currentsitedir and writes the path to Robo-FTP's main console window, but it does not change the current remote directory. The WORKINGDIR command sets current local working folder and writes its path to the console window.
