Chilkat.Ftp2 ftp = new Chilkat.Ftp2();

bool success;

//  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = ftp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.chilkatsoft.com";
ftp.Username = "****";
ftp.Password = "****";

//  Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect();
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("temp");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  In this example, assume that a previous FTP upload failed,
//  and the incomplete file (bigFile.zip) exists on the FTP server.
//  You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
//  the upload.  When RestartNext is set, the next call
//  to PutFile (or PutFileFromBinaryData, PutFileFromTextData)
//  will automatically resume the upload from the point of failure.
//  (The way it works is that the FTP component sends a "SIZE"
//  command to the FTP server to find out how many bytes of
//  the file already exist on the server.  It then begins
//  uploading from that point.

//  Note: After PutFile is called, the RestartNext property
//  is automatically set to false.
ftp.RestartNext = true;

//  Upload a file with restart.
string localFilename;
localFilename = "bigFile.zip";
string remoteFilename;
remoteFilename = "bigFile.zip";

success = ftp.PutFile(localFilename,remoteFilename);
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

ftp.Disconnect();

MessageBox.Show("File Uploaded!");
