local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local ftp = chilkat.Ftp2.new()

ftp.hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.username = "login"
ftp.password = "password"

-- Connect and login to the FTP server.
local success = ftp:connect()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Rename the remote file (or directory)
local existingFilepath = "dirA/hello.txt"
local newFilepath = "dirB/hello.txt"
success = ftp:rename_remote_file(existingFilepath, newFilepath)
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

success = ftp:disconnect()
