(Visual FoxPro) FTP Set Remote File Date/Time Equal to Local File's Last-Modified Date/Time

Demonstrates how to set a remote file's date/time to be equal to a local file's date/time.

Important: Not all FTP servers support the ability to set a file's date/time.

Note: This example includes a new file access method introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.66.

* 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

* Authenticate.
lnSuccess = loFtp.LoginAfterConnectOnly()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* We're going to get the last-mod date/time for the local file
* "qa_data/hamlet.xml", and then set the remote "hamlet.xml" to this date/time.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.FileAccess')
loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')
loDt = loFac.GetLastModified("qa_data/hamlet.xml")
