Get the Last-Modified Date/Time for one File by Name

Demonstrates how to get the last-modified date/time for a file on the FTP server by specifying the remote file path. C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Ftp2 ftp = new Chilkat.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) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("AAWorkarea");

//  Get the last-modified date/time information for the file "package.tgz"
Debug.WriteLine(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.

Debug.WriteLine("---- Session Log ----");
Debug.WriteLine(ftp.SessionLog);

ftp.Disconnect();
