Automatically Determine FTP Proxy Method

See more FTP Examples

Tries each of the five possible ProxyMethod settings and returns the value (1-5) of the ProxyMethod that succeeded. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loFtp
LOCAL lnPMethod

lnSuccess = 0

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

loFtp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Ftp2')

loFtp.Hostname = "www.example-code.com"
loFtp.Username = "example-code.com"
loFtp.Password = "****"

loFtp.ProxyHostname = "ftp.myproxyhost.com"
loFtp.ProxyPort = 21
* Note: Your FTP Proxy server may or may not require authentication.
loFtp.ProxyUsername = "myProxyUsername"
loFtp.ProxyPassword = "myProxyPassword"

* The ProxyMethod should be an integer value between 1 and 5.
* If you know your FTP proxy server's authentication scheme,
* you may set it directly.  To determine the ProxyMethod,
* call DetermineProxyMethod.  A return value of -1 indicates a failure.
* A return value of 0 indicates that nothing worked.
* A return value of 1-5 indicates the ProxyMethod that was 
* successful, and this should be the value used for the ProxyMethod
* property.
