* This example assumes Chilkat Ftp2 to have been previously unlocked.
* See Unlock Ftp2 for sample code.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2')
loFtp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ftp2')

loFtp.Hostname = "www.authtls-ftps-server.com"
loFtp.Username = "FTP_LOGIN"
loFtp.Password = "FTP_PASSWORD"
loFtp.AuthTls = 1
loFtp.Port = 21

* Connect to the FTP server using explicit TLS (AUTH TLS).
lnSuccess = loFtp.ConnectOnly()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the FTP server's certificate.
loServerCert = loFtp.GetSslServerCert()
IF (loFtp.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Now that we have the certificate, we can check it in any way we desire.
* (See the online reference documentation for the certificate object's methods
* and properties)...

* Assuming the certificate is OK, proceed to authenticate with the FTP server.
lnSuccess = loFtp.LoginAfterConnectOnly()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Proceed with uploading/download files, etc...
