# 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 = "login"
ftp.Password = "password"

# To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
# properties prior to connecting:
# The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
# IP address:
ftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
ftp.SocksPort = 1080
ftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
ftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
ftp.SocksVersion = 5
# Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
# SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

# Connect and login to the FTP server.

# 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.

# Download a file.
