(Visual FoxPro) Binary and ASCII FTP Transfer Modes

The SetTypeBinary() and SetTypeAscii() method can be called to change the current transfer mode. The default transfer mode is binary. Once SetTypeAscii() or SetTypeBinary() is called, all subsequent transfers will occur in that mode.

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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2')
loFtp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ftp2')

loFtp.Hostname = "ftp.something.com"
loFtp.Username = "test"
loFtp.Password = "test"

* Connect and login to the FTP server.
lnSuccess = loFtp.Connect()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Set the transfer mode to ASCII
lnSuccess = loFtp.SetTypeAscii()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
lnSuccess = loFtp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Upload a file.
lcLocalFilename = "hamlet.xml"
lcRemoteFilename = "hamlet.xml"

* Turn on session logging for the upload:
loFtp.KeepSessionLog = 1

lnSuccess = loFtp.PutFile(lcLocalFilename,lcRemoteFilename)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* View the session log.  You can verify visually that
* the transfer was in ascii mode.
