FTP Uncommon Compatibility Options

Demonstrates the UncommonOptions property, a comma-separated list of compatibility options for uncommon platform or server requirements. The default is empty and should normally remain empty.

Background: This is a catch-all for narrow workarounds that do not warrant their own properties — behaviors needed only by a particular server or platform quirk. Most applications never set it. When you do, it is to satisfy a specific documented requirement, and the exact keyword matters, so consult the reference list rather than guessing.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

var ftp = new CkFtp2();

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com";
ftp.Username = "myFtpLogin";

//  Normally you would not hard-code the password in source.  You should instead obtain it
//  from an interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
ftp.Password = "myPassword";

//  UncommonOptions is a comma-separated list of compatibility options for uncommon platform or
//  server requirements.  The default is empty and should normally remain empty; set a documented
//  keyword only to work around a specific server or platform quirk.
ftp.UncommonOptions = "SomeDocumentedKeyword";

success = ftp.Connect();
if (success == false) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;

console.log("Connected.");

    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
