bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Ftp2 ftp = new Chilkat.Ftp2();

    //  Normal (non-TLS) sockets:
    //  1 = empty hostname
    //  2 = DNS lookup failed
    //  3 = DNS timeout
    //  4 = Aborted by application.
    //  5 = Internal failure.
    //  6 = Connect Timed Out
    //  7 = Connect Rejected (or failed for some other reason)
