Append a Local File to a Remote FTP File

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.AppendFile method, which appends the contents of a local file to a remote file. The first argument is the local file path and the second is the remote file path. It uses the FTP APPE command.

Note: The local paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$ftp->put_Hostname("ftp.example.com");
$ftp->put_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->put_Password("myPassword");

    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
