Get the Last-Modified Date/Time for one File by Name

Demonstrates how to get the last-modified date/time for a file on the FTP server by specifying the remote file path. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

ftp = chilkat.CkFtp2()

ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.example.com")
ftp.put_Username("myLogin")
ftp.put_Password("myPassword")
# Use explicit TLS
ftp.put_AuthTls(True)
ftp.put_Port(21)

# For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.
ftp.put_KeepSessionLog(True)

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

ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("AAWorkarea")

# Get the last-modified date/time information for the file "package.tgz"
print(ftp.getLastModifiedTimeByNameStr("package.tgz"))

# Show the session log so we can see the details of the date/time information sent by the server.
# This tells us what information is available.  Some FTP servers provide better and more accurate information
# than others.

print("---- Session Log ----")
print(ftp.sessionLog())

ftp.Disconnect()
