Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

// This example assumes the Chilkat FTP2 API to have been previously unlocked.
// See FTP2 Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

ftp.Hostname = "www.my-ftp-server.com";
ftp.Username = "mFtpLogin";
ftp.Password = "myFtpPassword";
ftp.AuthTls = true;
ftp.Passive = true;

// Connect and login to the FTP server using TLS.
bool success = ftp.Connect();
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.Stream streamObj = new Chilkat.Stream();

// Indicate the charset of the incoming data.
streamObj.StringCharset = "utf-8";

// Create a task to do the FTP download.
Chilkat.Task t = ftp.GetFileToStreamAsync("lines.txt",streamObj);
if (ftp.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Start the task in a background thread.
t.Run();

// Read the incoming text data using any of the streamObj Read methods.
// This example will read line-by-line.
string line;
while (streamObj.EndOfStream != true) {
    line = streamObj.ReadToCRLF();
    if (streamObj.LastMethodSuccess == true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(line);
    }

}

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
