FTP Get Default Directory
FTP Get Default Directory is a synchronous activity that retrieves the name of the current remote directory. The default remote directory is operating system dependent and determined by the remote FTP server. On UNIX systems, the default remote directory is usually the home directory of the user account that is used to establish an FTP connection.
