Inovis VAN FTP/SSL (EDI)

Demonstrates how to connect to the Inovis EDI VAN (FTP/SSL).

Chilkat Module for Perl 5.8.*

#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
$success = $ftp->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");

#  The Inovis EDI VAN requires Passive connections:
$ftp->put_Passive(1);

#  Note: The Inovis documentation mentions an outbound
#  high port range of 40000-49999.  In passive mode, the
#  FTP server chooses the port number for the data
#  connection.  The Inovis server will choose a port number
#  in the range 40000-49999.  To establish the data connection,
#  your firewall must allow outgoing connections in that port
#  range.

#  This tells Chilkat FTP2 to establish
#  an AUTH TLS secure channel after connecting
#  on the standard FTP port 21.
$ftp->put_AuthTls(1);

#  You'll probably need this property set to 1 if you're
#  behind a NAT router or firewall.
$ftp->put_PassiveUseHostAddr(1);

#  The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
#  on port 990.  Do not set it to 1.  The Inovis VAN
#  uses explicit encryption (SSL/TLS).
$ftp->put_Ssl(0);

#  The Chilkat FTP component automatically sends a "FEAT"
#  command after connecting.  This allows the component
#  to better know the FTP server's capabilities.
#  The Invois server doesn't recognize the FEAT command,
#  so disable it:
$ftp->put_AutoFeat(0);

#  Connect, convert to TLS, and login to the FTP server.
$success = $ftp->Connect();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}
else {
    #  LastErrorText contains information even when
    #  successful. This allows you to visually verify
    #  that the secure connection actually occurred.

#  upload files, download files, etc...
