import { Ftp2 } from '@chilkat/react-native'

async function chilkatExample() {
  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  const ftp = new Ftp2();

  ftp.hostname = 'ftp.example.com';
  ftp.username = 'myUsername';
  ftp.password = 'myPassword';
  ftp.port = 21;
  ftp.authTls = true;

  // Connect and login to the FTP server.
  try {
    await ftp.connectAsync();
  } catch {
    console.log(ftp.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Change to the remote directory where the files are located.
  // This step is only necessary if the files are not in the root directory
  // of the FTP account.
  try {
    await ftp.changeRemoteDirAsync('qa');
  } catch {
    console.log(ftp.lastErrorText);
    return;

  // Download all files with filenames matching "*.txt";
  // The files are downloaded into c:/temp/qa_output
  const numFilesDownloaded = await ftp.mGetFilesAsync('*.txt', 'c:/temp/qa_output');

    console.log(ftp.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  await ftp.disconnectAsync();

  console.log(`${numFilesDownloaded} Files Downloaded!`);
