Restart/Resume FTP Upload

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to restart / resume an FTP upload. 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()!

    ftp.hostname = "ftp.example.com"
    ftp.username = "login"
    ftp.password = "password"

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.
    success = ftp.connect()
    if success != true {
        print("\(ftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
    success = ftp.changeRemoteDir(relativeDirPath: "temp")
    if success != true {
        print("\(ftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // In this example, assume that a previous FTP upload failed,
    // and the incomplete file (bigFile.zip) exists on the FTP server.
    // You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
    // the upload.  When RestartNext is set, the next call
    // to PutFile (or PutFileFromBinaryData, PutFileFromTextData)
    // will automatically resume the upload from the point of failure.
    // (The way it works is that the FTP component sends a "SIZE"
    // command to the FTP server to find out how many bytes of
    // the file already exist on the server.  It then begins
    // uploading from that point.

    // Note: After PutFile is called, the RestartNext property
    // is automatically set to false.
    ftp.restartNext = true

    // Upload a file with restart.
    var localFilename: String? = "bigFile.zip"
    var remoteFilename: String? = "bigFile.zip"

    success = ftp.putFile(localPath: localFilename, remoteFilename: remoteFilename)
    if success != true {
        print("\(ftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    success = ftp.disconnect()

    print("File Uploaded!")
