FTP Download File to a Stream

Demonstrates how to FTP download a file to a Chilkat stream. C++

#include <CkFtp2.h>
#include <CkStream.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  This example assumes the Chilkat FTP2 API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See FTP2 Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkFtp2 ftp;

    ftp.put_Hostname("my-ftp-server.com");
    ftp.put_Port(21);
    ftp.put_Username("mFtpLogin");
    ftp.put_Password("myFtpPassword");
    ftp.put_AuthTls(true);
    ftp.put_Passive(true);

    //  Connect and login to the FTP server using TLS.
    success = ftp.Connect();
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << ftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Move to the sub-directory (from the FTP user's home directory) where the file is located.
    success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("temp");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << ftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Stream to this local file:
    CkStream streamObj;
    streamObj.put_SinkFile("c:/temp/qa_output/penguins2.jpg");

    success = ftp.GetFileToStream("penguins2.jpg",streamObj);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << ftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    ftp.Disconnect();

    std::cout << "Success." << "\r\n";
    }
