CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

Note:

Any time you call a Transfer function, the connect function is called 

indirectly. It is recommended you explicitly invoke the Connect function 

though it is not necessary. You can always use the IsConnected property 

to determine whether you are connected at any given time.
