FTP Quote
FTP Quote is a synchronous activity that sends an arbitrary command to the FTP server. FTP commands vary by their operating system, FTP version, and configuration. Before using this activity, check for the availability of the commands on the remote server.
General
The General tab has the following fields.

| FTP Connection | Yes | The path to the shared configuration resource containing the user information such as host name, username, and password. |
