Tries each of the five possible ProxyMethod settings and returns the value (1-5) of the ProxyMethod that succeeded. Chilkat2-Python

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

ftp = chilkat2.Ftp2()

ftp.Hostname = "www.example-code.com"
ftp.Username = "example-code.com"
ftp.Password = "****"

ftp.ProxyHostname = "ftp.myproxyhost.com"
ftp.ProxyPort = 21
# Note: Your FTP Proxy server may or may not require authentication.
ftp.ProxyUsername = "myProxyUsername"
ftp.ProxyPassword = "myProxyPassword"

# The ProxyMethod should be an integer value between 1 and 5.
# If you know your FTP proxy server's authentication scheme,
# you may set it directly.  To determine the ProxyMethod,
# call DetermineProxyMethod.  A return value of -1 indicates a failure.
# A return value of 0 indicates that nothing worked.
# A return value of 1-5 indicates the ProxyMethod that was 
# successful, and this should be the value used for the ProxyMethod
# property.

pMethod = ftp.DetermineProxyMethod()
print(str(pMethod))
