Change Drives within FTP Server

[IForgot]

I can get on to the FTP Server, but my data resides on a different drive within the server.

Changing directories within the login drive is no problem.

But is there a way to programatically change drives within the FTP Server?

Or to initiate an FTP upload or download to a different drive within the FTP Server?

Thanks,

The following is basically what we are doing...

ThisForm.Label1.caption= "Conecting to FTP Server"
PUBLIC oftp
oftp = CREATEOBJECT('chilkatftp.chilkatftp')
oftp.HOSTNAME = <IP Address>
oftp.PASSWORD = <password>
oftp.Username = <username>
oftp.Passive = 1

lnconn = oftp.CONNECT()
if lnconn < 1
ThisForm.Label1.caption= &quot;Connection failed please try later&quot;
*return
else
ThisForm.Label1.caption=&quot;Retrieving Files...&quot;
oftp.ChangeRemoteDir('c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\thisserver\download')

x = oftp.MGetFiles('*.dbf','eml\')
x = oftp.MGetFiles('*.fpt','eml\')
*release oftp

THISFORM.processfiles()
endif

You can see the ChangeRemoteDir() which allows us to change to another directory within the default drive.

But we cannot figure out how to change drives.

If we attempt to change the file specifier within the MGETFILES() to include a different drive letter, we get an error.
