import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkFtp2 ftp = new CkFtp2();

    ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.example.com");
    ftp.put_Username("login");
    ftp.put_Password("password");

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.
    success = ftp.Connect();
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println(ftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Rename the remote file (or directory)
    String existingFilepath = "dirA/hello.txt";
    String newFilepath = "dirB/hello.txt";
    success = ftp.RenameRemoteFile(existingFilepath,newFilepath);
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println(ftp.lastErrorText());
        return;
