Summary
Specifies the type of FTP server that the client will be connecting to.
Description
The HostType property is used to set the host type of the remote machine. The HostType is used when parsing the server reply, and during multiply get file operations.
The default value is SERVER_AUTODETECT. If the automatic detection fails the host type will default to SERVER_UNIX. This property can be changed at run time only.
If the remote machine does not support the SYST command to determine the type of server, then this property should be set to the type of the FTP server.
The following values are supported:
