Using the FTP Session Log

See more FTP Examples

The Chilkat FTP component can keep a session log if the KeepSessionLog property is turned on. This is helpful in debugging problems. Chilkat support will usually ask for a session log when working to resolve your problem, because it contains a log of the exact commands sent to the FTP server, and the exact responses received. C

    BOOL success;
    HCkFtp2 ftp;

    const char *remoteFilename;

    success = FALSE;

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

    ftp = CkFtp2_Create();

    CkFtp2_putHostname(ftp,"ftp.example.com");

    // Set the KeepSessionLog property in order to keep a session log.
    // The session log will continuously grow in memory.  The
    // ClearSessionLog method may be called to clear it.  The session
    // logging may be turned on/off at any point.
