Using the FTP Session Log

See more FTP Examples

The Chilkat FTP component can keep a session log if the KeepSessionLog property is turned on. This is helpful in debugging problems. Chilkat support will usually ask for a session log when working to resolve your problem, because it contains a log of the exact commands sent to the FTP server, and the exact responses received.

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

my $ftp = Chilkat2::Ftp2->new;

$ftp->Hostname('ftp.example.com');
$ftp->Username('login');
$ftp->Password('password');

# Set the KeepSessionLog property in order to keep a session log.
# The session log will continuously grow in memory.  The
# ClearSessionLog method may be called to clear it.  The session
# logging may be turned on/off at any point.
$ftp->KeepSessionLog(1);

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
my $success = $ftp->Connect();
if (!$success) {
    print $ftp->LastErrorText, "\n";

}

# Change to the remote directory where the existing file is located.
$success = $ftp->ChangeRemoteDir('junk');
if (!$success) {
    print $ftp->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;

# To clear the SessionLog at any point, call ClearSessionLog:
# call ftp.ClearSessionLog();

# Append moreHamlet.txt to hamlet.txt on the FTP server.
my $localFilename = 'moreHamlet.txt';
my $remoteFilename = 'hamlet.txt';

$success = $ftp->AppendFile($localFilename, $remoteFilename);

# Display the entire session log:
