* 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

* Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
lnSuccess = loFtp.ChangeRemoteDir("temp")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFtp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* In this example, assume that a previous FTP upload failed,
* and the incomplete file (bigFile.zip) exists on the FTP server.
* You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
* the upload.  When RestartNext is set, the next call
* to PutFile (or PutFileFromBinaryData, PutFileFromTextData)
* will automatically resume the upload from the point of failure.
* (The way it works is that the FTP component sends a "SIZE"
* command to the FTP server to find out how many bytes of
* the file already exist on the server.  It then begins
* uploading from that point.

* Note: After PutFile is called, the RestartNext property
* is automatically set to false.
loFtp.RestartNext = 1

* Upload a file with restart.
