(JavaScript) SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 Proxy for FTP

Demonstrates how to connect to an FTP server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy. Both SSL/TLS and non-secure FTP communications may use SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies.

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;

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

var ftp = new CkFtp2();

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com";
ftp.Username = "login";
ftp.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:
ftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com";
ftp.SocksPort = 1080;
ftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin";
ftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword";
// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
ftp.SocksVersion = 5;
// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect();
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// 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.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Download a file.
var localFilename = "c:/temp/hamlet.xml";
var remoteFilename = "hamlet.xml";

success = ftp.GetFile(remoteFilename,localFilename);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = ftp.Disconnect();

console.log("File Downloaded!");
