Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.PutFileSb method, which encodes the text in a StringBuilder and uploads it to a remote path. The arguments are the StringBuilder, the charset, whether to include a byte-order mark, and the remote file path.

    // it to a remote path.  The 1st argument is the StringBuilder, the 2nd is the charset, the 3rd
    // selects whether a byte-order mark is included, and the 4th is the remote file path.

    // from an interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
