Description
The FTP_Login command establishes a connection with the FTP server at hostName and logs onto the system using the supplied userName and Password.
hostName is the host name or IP address of the remote system.
userName is the name of a user account recognized by the FTP server. Many FTP servers support guest access via an "anonymous" username. If you are logging in anonymously, it is customary to supply your e-mail address as the password.
password is the password for userName on the system.
ftp_ID is the long integer value obtained for the newly opened session. This value will be used in subsequent FTP commands. This parameter must be passed a 4D variable or field in order to accept the returned results.
welcomeText is an optional parameter which contains the text returned when the user logs into the system. Many FTP sites have a Welcome message displayed at the time of login. If specified, this parameter must be passed a 4D variable or field in order to accept the returned results.
