Binary and ASCII FTP Transfer Modes

See more FTP Examples

The SetTypeBinary() and SetTypeAscii() method can be called to change the current transfer mode. The default transfer mode is binary. Once SetTypeAscii() or SetTypeBinary() is called, all subsequent transfers will occur in that mode. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final ftp = CkFtp2();

  ftp.hostname = 'ftp.something.com';
  ftp.username = 'test';
  ftp.password = 'test';

  // Connect and login to the FTP server.
  try {
    ftp.connect();
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Set the transfer mode to ASCII
  try {
    ftp.setTypeAscii();
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
  try {
    ftp.changeRemoteDir('junk');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Upload a file.
  final localFilename = 'hamlet.xml';
  final remoteFilename = 'hamlet.xml';

  // Turn on session logging for the upload:
  ftp.keepSessionLog = true;

  try {
    ftp.putFile(localFilename, remoteFilename);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // View the session log.  You can verify visually that
  // the transfer was in ascii mode.
  print(ftp.sessionLog);

  ftp.disconnect();

  print('File Uploaded!');
