#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.

#  Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != True):
    print ftp.lastErrorText()

#  Change to the remote directory where the file is located.
#  This step is only necessary if the file is not in the root directory
#  for the FTP account.

#  To resume a download, it is assumed that the partial file
#  is already present on the local filesystem.
#  You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
#  the download.  The Chilkat FTP component sets the resume
#  point by getting the existing size of the target (local) file.

#  Resume downloading...
