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

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");

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

    CkFtp2 ftp = new CkFtp2();

    //  For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.

    //  Get the last-modified date/time information for the file "package.tgz"
    System.out.println(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.

    System.out.println("---- Session Log ----");
