what is the best way to tell if you are connected to FTP server ?

what is the best way to tell if you are connected to FTP server ?

is it :

IF TCPRecv = <> "" then

or:

_FTPConnect = 1 then

?

When i use TCPRecv and if FTP server has welcome message, i will then be able to read welcome message and count it as connected. But if FTP server does not have welcome message then i am unable to tell if i am connected or not.

So maybe i need to somehow to be able to read what servers says in real time like LOG ?

Little confused here

When you connect the return from _FTPConnect will tell you if you connected successfully. If you want to check later to see if you are still connected then you could see what the return is from something like _FTPGetCurrentDir.

No that doest not work because even if FTP port is set to 21 but u are connecting to port 22 it will still say that u are connected but u are not connected to FTP .

U kinda connected to host but not to FTP so there must be another way to justify if connection was made correctly or not.

#Include <FTP.au3>

Global Const $Host = 'ftp.mozilla.org'
Global Const $Login = ''
Global Const $Password = ''
Global Const $Port = 21

Global $hFtp, $hSession

_FTP_Startup()
$hFtp = _FTP_Open('MyFtp')
_InternetSetOption($hFtp, $INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, 4000)
$hSession = _FTP_Connect($hFtp, $Host, $Login, $Password, $Port)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Connect failed.')
Else
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Connect successful.')
EndIf
_FTP_Disconnect($hSession)
_FTP_Close($hFtp)
_FTP_Shutdown()

this is not working.

If i specify different port number it will still be connected no matter what.

I used check current dir

$concheck = _FTPGetCurrentDir($FTPopen);check if curent directory recived
If $concheck = "" Then;if directory was not recived then
    SoundPlay (@TempDir & "/oops.wav",1);error sound
ElseIf $concheck = "/" then
SoundPlay (@TempDir & "/connected.wav",0); u are connected sound

works better. This way if directory listed then i can be 100% sure i connected and server responded by listing current directory.

Thanks
