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

    // For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.
    ftp.keepSessionLog = true

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.
    success = ftp.connect()

    }

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