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

loFtp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ftp2')

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

* Connect and login to the FTP server.
lnSuccess = loFtp.Connect()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Set the current directory (on the FTP server) to the
* "orders" subdirectory.  When logging into an FTP account,
* current remote directory is automatically set to the
* home directory of the FTP account.  From the FTP client's
* perspective, it will be "/", but the absolute path on the
* FTP server might be something like "/home/ftp_users/".
lnSuccess = loFtp.ChangeRemoteDir("orders")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
