I have an aspect script that uses a procedure call to perform an ftp. Inside this proc I change modes to ftp (pwmode 1). After retirning from the procedure I try to get back to terminal mode with "pwmode 0" and "pwmode TERMINAL" to no avail. I've stepped through my script in the debugger and nothing happens when it gets to pwmode 0. Am I missing something?

FTP LOCAL CHDIR szPath ;Set the local dir. to capture path.
pause 1
Connect FTP szFTP ;Connect to specified FTP site.
pause 2
while $ftpstatus
yield ;Loop while connecting to FTP site.
endwhile
pause 1 ;Let Procomm update its screen.
FTP LOCAL COPYFILE szFile ;Copy (upload) file to FTP site.
while $ftpstatus ;Yield while transferring file.
yield
endwhile

I'm unable to even get pwmode to change to FTP mode (the pwmode command returns failure), so it appears that this command is either totally busted in 4.8 or I'm not implementing it correctly. Procomm was also returning the wrong value for $PWMODE as well.

Played around with this a little more, here's a workaround that should work to switch to FTP mode and then back:
proc main
#include "pw5menu.inc"
menuselect pwmenu _5CHANGE_FTP
pause 3
menuselect pwmenu _5CHANGE_TELNET
endproc

proc main
#include "pw5menu.inc"
menuselect pwmenu _5CHANGE_FTP
pause 3
menuselect pwmenu _5CHANGE_TELNET
endproc

If you are making an anonymous FTP connection, then I think you can use the connectmanual command (but I haven't tested this yet). If you actually have to login to the FTP server, then I believe your only options are using the Connection Directory or having your script bring up the FTP | Manual Connection dialog and using the sendkey and sendkeystr commands to fill out the necessary fields of the dialog.
