Restart/Resume FTP Upload

Demonstrates how to restart / resume an FTP upload. Objective-C

#import <CkoFtp2.h>
#import <NSString.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoFtp2 *ftp = [[CkoFtp2 alloc] init];

ftp.Hostname = @"ftp.example.com";
ftp.Username = @"login";
ftp.Password = @"password";

//  Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = [ftp Connect];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
success = [ftp ChangeRemoteDir: @"temp"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  In this example, assume that a previous FTP upload failed,
//  and the incomplete file (bigFile.zip) exists on the FTP server.
//  You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
//  the upload.  When RestartNext is set, the next call
//  to PutFile (or PutFileFromBinaryData, PutFileFromTextData)
//  will automatically resume the upload from the point of failure.
//  (The way it works is that the FTP component sends a "SIZE";
//  command to the FTP server to find out how many bytes of
//  the file already exist on the server.  It then begins
//  uploading from that point.

//  Note: After PutFile is called, the RestartNext property
//  is automatically set to false.
ftp.RestartNext = YES;

//  Upload a file with restart.
NSString *localFilename = @"bigFile.zip";
NSString *remoteFilename = @"bigFile.zip";

success = [ftp PutFile: localFilename remoteFilename: remoteFilename];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = [ftp Disconnect];

NSLog(@"%@",@"File Uploaded!");
