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

-- Tell the FTP object to keep an in-memory session log
-- so we can see the commands sent to the server,
-- and the responses received back.

-- Change the current remote directory via the Quote method:
success = ftp:quote("CWD junk")
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)

-- In this case, ChangeRemoteDir sends "CWD .." to the FTP server.

-- Do the same via the SendCommand method where the
