While you are connected to an FTP server, the server keeps track of your working directory. The server assumes you are referring to this directory whenever you perform a file operation without specifying an absolute path.
The current working directory is available in the WorkingDirectory property:
string directory = ftpConnection.WorkingDirectory;This may be changed using:
ftpConnection.ChangeWorkingDirectory(directory);Or to simply go up to the parent directory:
ftpConnection.ChangeWorkingDirectoryUp()Note that ExFTPConnection and SecureFTPConnection also offer asynchronous versions of these methods. These are recommended for improving the responsiveness of GUI applications. Please refer to the How to use asynchronous methods topic to learn more about this.
