ChangeWorkingDirectoryUp() will move you up a level.

It sounds like what you're trying to do is very similar to what the FTPRemoteFileList of edtFTPnet/Express does. If so, you might save yourself time and money by purchasing it (from only $99) rather than struggling with your own implemention using the free version. Also, it works asynchronously (i.e. in the background) so your application will be a lot more responsive.

If not then could you please explain a little more what you'd like to do? I don't quite understand what you mean by "so that the listbox can bring directory up to root".

after i connect to the server using edtftp.all the server data will be listed in the listbox.then i want a button to back the listbox directory to root folder. hope u understand.if not let me know. not too good with my english..; )

Answer 8

Oh, you want to change directory to the root directory. That's easy - just do:

ftpConnection.ServerDirectory = "/";

Answer 10

If you need further help then please post the log. You can enable logging using:

EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPConnection.LogToConsole = true;
EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPConnection.LogLevel = EnterpriseDT.Util.Debug.LogLevel.Debug;
