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. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Ftp2;

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

$ftp = new Ftp2();

$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 = true;

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
try {
    $ftp->Connect();

    // Change to the remote directory where the existing file is located.
    $ftp->ChangeRemoteDir('junk');

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

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

    $ftp->AppendFile($localFilename, $remoteFilename);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

$ftp->Disconnect();

// Display the entire session log:
echo $ftp->SessionLog, "\n";

echo "File Appended!\n";
