(Delphi DLL) FTP Connect, Examine Server Certificate, and then Authenticate

Demonstrates how to connect to an FTP server, examine the server's SSL/TLS certificate, and then, if it meets the application's security requirements, proceed to authenticate.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
