Using the FTP Session Log

See more FTP Examples

The Chilkat FTP component can keep a session log if the KeepSessionLog property is turned on. This is helpful in debugging problems. Chilkat support will usually ask for a session log when working to resolve your problem, because it contains a log of the exact commands sent to the FTP server, and the exact responses received. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim ftp As ChilkatFtp2
ftp.Initialize("ftp")

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.Username = "login"
ftp.Password = "password"

'  Set the KeepSessionLog property in order to keep a session log.
'  The session log will continuously grow in memory.  The
'  ClearSessionLog method may be called to clear it.  The session
'  logging may be turned on/off at any point.
ftp.KeepSessionLog = True

'  Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect
If success <> True Then
    Log(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  Change to the remote directory where the existing file is located.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk")
If success <> True Then
    Log(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


'  To clear the SessionLog at any point, call ClearSessionLog:
'  call ftp.ClearSessionLog();

'  Append moreHamlet.txt to hamlet.txt on the FTP server.
Dim localFilename As String = "moreHamlet.txt"
Dim remoteFilename As String = "hamlet.txt"

success = ftp.AppendFile(localFilename, remoteFilename)
If success <> True Then
    Log(ftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If


success = ftp.Disconnect

'  Display the entire session log:
Log(ftp.SessionLog)

Log("File Appended!")
