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

    ftp := chilkat.NewFtp2()

    ftp.SetHostname("ftp.example.com")
    ftp.SetUsername("myLogin")
    ftp.SetPassword("myPassword")
    // Use explicit TLS
    ftp.SetAuthTls(true)
    ftp.SetPort(21)

    // For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.
    ftp.SetKeepSessionLog(true)

    // Connect and login to the FTP server.

    fmt.Println(*dt.GetAsTimestamp(false))
    dt.DisposeCkDateTime()

    // 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.

    fmt.Println("---- Session Log ----")
    fmt.Println(ftp.SessionLog())

    ftp.Disconnect()
