(C#) FTP Set Remote File Date/Time Equal to Local File's Last-Modified Date/Time

Demonstrates how to set a remote file's date/time to be equal to a local file's date/time.

Important: Not all FTP servers support the ability to set a file's date/time.

Note: This example includes a new file access method introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.66.

// This example assumes Chilkat Ftp2 to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Ftp2 for sample code.

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

ftp.Hostname = "www.authtls-ftps-server.com";
ftp.Username = "FTP_LOGIN";
ftp.Password = "FTP_PASSWORD";
ftp.AuthTls = true;
ftp.Port = 21;

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

// Authenticate.
success = ftp.LoginAfterConnectOnly();
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// We're going to get the last-mod date/time for the local file
// "qa_data/hamlet.xml", and then set the remote "hamlet.xml" to this date/time.
Chilkat.FileAccess fac = new Chilkat.FileAccess();
Chilkat.CkDateTime dt = fac.GetLastModified("qa_data/hamlet.xml");
if (fac.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(fac.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = ftp.SetRemoteFileDt(dt,"hamlet.xml");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);

    return;
}

ftp.Disconnect();

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
