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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

ftp = Chilkat::CkFtp2.new()

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() + "\n";
    exit
end

ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("AAWorkarea")

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

# 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 ----" + "\n";
print ftp.sessionLog() + "\n";

ftp.Disconnect()
