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

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

loFtp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
loFtp.Username = "myLogin"
loFtp.Password = "myPassword"
* Use explicit TLS
loFtp.AuthTls = 1
loFtp.Port = 21

* For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.
loFtp.KeepSessionLog = 1

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

loFtp.ChangeRemoteDir("AAWorkarea")

* Get the last-modified date/time information for the file "package.tgz"
loDt = loFtp.GetLastModDtByName("package.tgz")
IF (loFtp.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? loDt.GetAsTimestamp(0)
RELEASE loDt

* Show the session log so we can see the details of the date/time information sent by the server.
* This tells us what information is available.  Some FTP servers provide better and more accurate information
* than others.
