SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 Proxy for FTP

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an FTP server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy. Both SSL/TLS and non-secure FTP communications may use SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let ftp = CkoFtp2()!

    // To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
    // properties prior to connecting:
    // The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
    // IP address:
    ftp.socksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
    ftp.socksPort = 1080

    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    ftp.socksVersion = 5
    // Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
    // SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.
