State is set to Disconnected.
If an error occurs during connection,
Connected event will be fired with
ErrorCode set to error that occurred. If
ErrorCode is set to 0, wodFtpDLX successfully connected with remote server.
Upon connection, wodFtpDLX may perform initial 'handshake' with remote server, depending on protocol selected. For example, SFTP and FTPS protocols will negotiate encryption algorithms and other properties related to secured connection.
After handshake is completed, wodFtpDLX will perform automatic authentication with server.
If authentication is successful, wodFtpDLX will try to retrieve home path of the user, and store it initially to
RemotePath property.
