cd (ftp)

Change current directory on FTP server

Syntax

```
cd(f)
cd(f,'dirname')

Description

cd(f) Displays the current directory on the FTP server f, where f was created using ftp.

cd(f,'dirname') Changes the current directory on the FTP server f to dirname, where f was created using ftp. After running cd, the object f remembers the current directory on the FTP server.

cd(f,'..') changes the current directory on the FTP server f to the directory above the current one.
