This function retrieves the current directory for the specified FTP session.

BOOL WINAPI FtpGetCurrentDirectory(
  HINTERNET hConnect, 
  LPCTSTR lpszCurrentDirectory, 
  LPDWORD lpdwCurrentDirectory
);

Parameters

hConnect

[in] Valid handle to an FTP session.

lpszCurrentDirectory

[out] Long pointer to a buffer that receives the null-terminated string that contains the absolute path to the current directory.

lpdwCurrentDirectory

[in, out] Long pointer to a variable that specifies the buffer length, in characters, for the current directory string. On input, the buffer length must include room for a terminating null character. Using a length of MAX_PATH is sufficient for all paths. When the function returns, the variable contains the number of characters that were copied into the buffer.

Return Values

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure. To get extended error data, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If the lpszCurrentDirectory buffer is not large enough, lpdwCurrentDirectory receives the number of bytes required to retrieve the full, current directory name.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE 2.0 and later.
Header: Wininet.h.
Link Library: Wininet.lib.
