FtpCommand

This function issues an arbitrary FTP command to the FTP server.

BOOL WINAPI FtpCommand(
  HINTERNET hConnect, 
  BOOL fExpectResponse, 
  DWORD dwFlags, 
  LPCTSTR lpszCommand, 
  DWORD dwContext
);

hConnect
[in] Valid handle for an FTP session.
fExpectResponse
[in] Boolean that specifies if a data response is expected. If fExpectResponse is TRUE, a data response is expected, and the application can call the InternetReadFile function to read the response.

dwFlags
[in] Specifies the conditions under which the data connection takes place. The following table shows the flags that can be set.

Value	Description
FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_ASCII	Data connection using the FTP ASCII, Type A, transfer method. Control and formatting data is converted to local equivalents.
FTP_TRANSFER_TYPE_BINARY	Data connection using the FTP Image, Type I, transfer method. The file is transferred exactly as it exists with no changes. This is the default transfer method.

lpszCommand
[in] Long pointer to the null-terminated string that contains an FTP command, for example, "PWD \r\n".
dwContext
[in] Specifies an application-defined value that associates the FTP command in a status callback.

The dwContext parameter accepts status callbacks to the application, but all requests are handled synchronously.
