Syntax:	FTPCD	[ dir name ]
Arguments:	[ dir name ]	Variable or string defining the new directory name.
Options:	None

This script command sets the current remote directory and writes the path to the console window. Any time Robo-FTP is connected to a remote site it has a current remote directory. By contrast, Robo-FTP always has a current working folder on the local PC.

The path of the current remote directory is saved in a internal script variable named %currentsitedir.

This is an example of the FTPCD command:

FTPCD "/newdirectory"

DISPLAY %currentsitedir

Like FTPCD, the FTPPWD script command also populates %currentsitedir and writes the path to Robo-FTP's main console window, but it does not change the current remote directory. The WORKINGDIR command sets current local working folder and writes its path to the console window.
