import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

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

ftp = chilkat2.Ftp2()

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.Username = "myLogin"
ftp.Password = "myPassword"
# Use explicit TLS
ftp.AuthTls = True
ftp.Port = 21

# For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.
ftp.KeepSessionLog = True

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success == False):
    print(ftp.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("AAWorkarea")

# Get the last-modified date/time information for the file "package.tgz"
print(ftp.GetLastModifiedTimeByNameStr("package.tgz"))

# Show the session log so we can see the details of the date/time information sent by the server.
# This tells us what information is available.  Some FTP servers provide better and more accurate information
# than others.

print("---- Session Log ----")
print(ftp.SessionLog)
