ChangeDirectoryUp Method

Description

Set the working directory to the parent directory. The Directory property can be checked to discover the new working directory.

Syntax

If Timeout is greater than 0, ChangeDirectoryUp blocks until a reply is received from the server or a ptTimeout error occurs.

If Timeout is 0, ChangeDirectoryUp immediately returns and the Progress event fires with FtpCmd = ftpChangeDirectoryUp when the reply is received.
