Lua
local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local ftp = chilkat.Ftp2.new()

-- ...
-- ...

-- Insert this code just before the method call that crashes or hangs.
ftp.verbose_logging = true
ftp.debug_log_file_path = "/some/file/path/sftp_debug_log.txt"

-- Make the call that crashes or hangs,
-- for example, if the method is PutFile:

local remoteFilePath = "..."
local localFilePath = "..."
local success = ftp:put_file(localFilePath, remoteFilePath)

-- Note: If the method returns control to your application code, then it did not crash within Chilkat.
-- The DebugLogFilePath property causes all information that would be recorded in the LastErrorText to be emitted to the
-- log file (with immediate file write flushing, i.e. no buffering).  Thus, in a crash situation,
-- the log file will contain information up to the point of the crash.

if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end
