FTPConnect Method

Connect to a FTP Server and performs login. Corresponds to the FTPConnect action.

object.FTPConnect(Name, [ConnectString])

TIP!

A connection string dialog window is available for the FTPConnect action in the Macro Editor. This tool automatically builds a valid connection string based on the information entered by the user. This string can then be copied and pasted into the script editor. Note thought that if you are using a connection string copied from the macro editor, you will need to enclose the connection string in quotes when including it as the ConnectString argument.

Client support
