//  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 := 1;

//  Upload a file with restart.
localFilename := 'bigFile.zip';
remoteFilename := 'bigFile.zip';

success := ftp.PutFile(localFilename,remoteFilename);
