Explanation
The FTPConnect method connects to the FTP server. This method can only be executed from the client computer. It does not operate on the server. After this method has connected to the FTP server, it is possible to use the FTPDeleteFileEx, FTPGetFileEx, FTPPutFileEx, and FTPRenameFileEx methods.
When not using a proxy server set the ProxyName to an empty string.
