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

loFtp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ftp2')

loFtp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
loFtp.Username = "login"
loFtp.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:
loFtp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loFtp.SocksPort = 1080
loFtp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loFtp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
* Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
* of the SOCKS proxy server:
loFtp.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.
