Change Current Directory

See more FTP Examples

To change the current remote directory, call ChangeRemoteDir. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local ftp = chilkat.Ftp2.new()

ftp.hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.username = "login"
ftp.password = "password"

-- Connect and login to the FTP server.
local success = ftp:connect()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
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:change_remote_dir("orders")
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

success = ftp:disconnect()
