Lua

chmod (Setting File Permissions)

See more FTP Examples

This example assumes your FTP server supports the "chmod" command, which typically means it must be a server running on a Linux or Unix system. The SendCommand method may be called to send arbitrary commands to the FTP server. This example sends a "chmod" command to set the file permissions. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local ftp = chilkat.Ftp2.new()

ftp.hostname = "ftp.cknotes.com"
ftp.username = "myLogin"
ftp.password = "myPassword"

-- Connect and login to the FTP server.
local success = ftp:connect()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Send a chmod command to the FTP server to set
-- the permissions of a file to 0644:
local resp = ftp:send_command("chmod 0644 hamlet.xml")

if not ftp.last_method_success then
    -- Failed.
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
else
    -- You should write code to examine the response to
    -- the SendCommand.  As an example, the FTP server
    -- used for testing responds with this for success:
    -- 200 Permissions changed on hamlet.xml
    print(resp)
end

success = ftp:disconnect()
