How do I verify an Active Connection to FTP server?

[Zarepheth]

I am trying to programmatically determine whether or not my WinInet
connection to an FTP server is still valid and active. All the information
I have thus far found only tells me whether or not I can make a connection
to some place on the internet, not whether the HInternet handle for a
specific connection is still valid.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Hello
The only way is to send an FTP command. WinInet does not give any way to
check the and see if the socket is still open other then trying to use the
connection.

Thanks
