(C# UWP/WinRT) chmod (Setting File Permissions)

This example assumes your FTP server supports the "chmod" command, which typically means it must be a server running on a Linux or Unix system. The SendCommand method may be called to send arbitrary commands to the FTP server. This example sends a "chmod" command to set the file permissions.

// 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.Password = "myPassword";

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
bool success = await ftp.ConnectAsync();

    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);

// Send a chmod command to the FTP server to set
// the permissions of a file to 0644:
string resp = await ftp.SendCommandAsync("chmod 0644 hamlet.xml");

    // Failed.
    Debug.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText);
}
else {
    // You should write code to examine the response to
    // the SendCommand.  As an example, the FTP server
    // used for testing responds with this for success:
    // 200 Permissions changed on hamlet.xml
    Debug.WriteLine(resp);
