The server FTP has to allow writing in the selected directory.

Example of the daily reports with a CSV format created by the program LIB\utilities\p\reportv1.prg.

    For example: for a connection to the server ftp.arcinfos.com

    • ascii indicate an ASCII transfer
    • cd selects the FTP directory
