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

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

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com";
ftp.Username = "login";
ftp.Password = "password";

// To use FTP bandwidth throttling, set the BandwidthThrottleDown
// property to a maximum desired bytes/second:
// This example limits the download to 50K per second.
ftp.BandwidthThrottleDown = 50000;

// The default data transfer mode is "Active" as opposed to "Passive".

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

// Change to the remote directory where the file is located.
// This step is only necessary if the file is not in the root directory
// for the FTP account.
success = await ftp.ChangeRemoteDirAsync("junk");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;

// Download a file.
