Summary

Change to parent directory on server.

Syntax

Boolean ParentDir ()

Description

The ParentDir method changes your current working directory on the FTP server to its parent directory. This is the same as calling the ChangeDir("..") method or setting the Target property to ".." and setting the DirAction property to DIR_ACTION_CHANGE.

The ParentDir method takes no parameters and returns a boolean. If the current working directory can be successfully changed to its parent directory, then the method returns True; otherwise, it returns False. The application should ensure that the method was successfully executed by checking the return value. The method also sets the LastResult property. The value of the LastResult property can be checked to determine if any error occurred.

Calling this method is equivalent to setting the DirAction property to DIR_ACTION_PARENT.

Example

Result = FTPClient.ParentDir ()
If Result = False Then
MsgBox "Cannot change to parent directory", 64, "Sample Program"
End If

"The night before I went on summer holiday we had to make some 'last minute' configuration changes to approx. 300 routers, a tedious job to do manually with telnet. We went along with MS Excel containing a list of IP-adresses to the routers, and the VIT telnet-component. One hour later the VBA-application (small is beautiful) was working, and after another hour all of our routers were updated with the new configuration. I just say a big "Thanks" to you all for a good sleep that night."
