#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = ftp.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit

ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.chilkatsoft.com")
ftp.put_Username("mylogin")

#  Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit

#  At any point in an FTP session, the IsConnected property
#  can be checked to determine if the component has remained
#  connected to the FTP server.
if (ftp.get_IsConnected() == true)
    print "Connected!" + "\n"
