import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# This example assumes the Chilkat FTP2 API to have been previously unlocked.

ftp = chilkat.CkFtp2()

ftp.put_Hostname("my-ftp-server.com")
ftp.put_Port(21)
ftp.put_Username("mFtpLogin")

ftp.put_AuthTls(True)
ftp.put_Passive(True)

# Connect and login to the FTP server using TLS.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != True):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Move to the sub-directory (from the FTP user's home directory) where the file is located.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("temp")
if (success == False):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Stream to this local file:
streamObj = chilkat.CkStream()
streamObj.put_SinkFile("c:/temp/qa_output/penguins2.jpg")

success = ftp.GetFileToStream("penguins2.jpg",streamObj)
if (success == False):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
