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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

ftp = Chilkat::CkFtp2.new()

ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.cknotes.com")
ftp.put_Username("myLogin")
ftp.put_Password("myPassword")

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != true)
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

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

if (ftp.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
    # Failed.
    print ftp.lastErrorText() + "\n";
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 + "\n";
end

success = ftp.Disconnect()
