See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect to an FTP server using explicit FTP over TLS. 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.your-ftp-server.com"
ftp.username = "ftpAccountLogin"
ftp.password = "ftpAccountPassword"

-- Indicate that the "AUTH TLS" command should be use to convert the connection to TLS
-- after the initial TCP connection to port 21 is established.
ftp.auth_tls = true

-- Connect and convert the connection to TLS automatically.
local success = ftp:connect_only()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

success = ftp:login_after_connect_only()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
