(.NET Core C#) FTP XCRC

Demonstrates how to tell Chilkat FTP2 to automatically verify an upload using XCRC. XCRC is an FTP extension supported by most FTP servers. If your FTP server does not support XCRC, then no XCRC command will be sent to verify the upload.

The XCRC command asks the FTP server to send an CRC checksum (hash) for the contents of a file. The client can then verify that the checksum matches the local file. The FTP2 Put* methods automatically do this when the AutoXcrc property is turned on.

Note: In order for the FTP2 component to know whether XCRC is supported by your FTP server, you must have the AutoFeat property turned on (which is the default setting). The AutoFeat property tells the FTP2 component to automatically request the FTP server features via the FEAT command after connecting.

Note: XCRC is new functionality that is present in the pre-release downloads at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/preRelease.asp, or in official new versions dated after 30-Oct-2007. If you have trouble, please contact support@chilkatsoft.com.
