FTPS / Implicit SSL

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect using implicit SSL on port 990. The FTP component connects using SSL on port 990, which is the de-facto standard FTP SSL port. Not all FTP servers support implicit SSL. An alternative is to use AUTH SSL (also called AUTH TLS). C++

#include <CkFtp2.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkFtp2 ftp;

    //  If this example does not work, try using passive mode
    //  by setting this to true.
    ftp.put_Passive(false);
    ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.something.com");
    ftp.put_Username("test");
    ftp.put_Password("test");
    ftp.put_Port(990);

    //  We don't want AUTH SSL:
    ftp.put_AuthTls(false);

    //  We want Implicit SSL:
    ftp.put_Ssl(true);

    //  Connect and login to the FTP server.
    success = ftp.Connect();
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << ftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }
    else {
        //  LastErrorText contains information even when
        //  successful. This allows you to visually verify
        //  that the secure connection actually occurred.
        std::cout << ftp.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
    }

    std::cout << "FTPS Channel Established!" << "\r\n";

    //  Do whatever you're doing to do ...
    //  upload files, download files, etc...

    success = ftp.Disconnect();
    }
