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

Syntax 

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 Value

Remarks

If the lpszCurrentDirectorybuffer is not large enough, lpdwCurrentDirectoryreceives the number of bytes required to retrieve the full, current directory name.
