(Go) Inovis VAN FTP/SSL (EDI)

Demonstrates how to connect to the Inovis EDI VAN (FTP/SSL).

Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

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

    ftp := chilkat.NewFtp2()

    ftp.SetHostname("ftpssl.gateway.inovisworks.net")
    ftp.SetUsername("myLogin")
    ftp.SetPassword("myPassword")

    // The Inovis EDI VAN requires Passive connections:
    ftp.SetPassive(true)

    // Note: The Inovis documentation mentions an outbound
    // high port range of 40000-49999.  In passive mode, the
    // FTP server chooses the port number for the data
    // connection.  The Inovis server will choose a port number
    // in the range 40000-49999.  To establish the data connection,
    // your firewall must allow outgoing connections in that port
    // range. 

    // This tells Chilkat FTP2 to establish
    // an AUTH TLS secure channel after connecting
    // on the standard FTP port 21.
    ftp.SetAuthTls(true)

    // You'll probably need this property set to true if you're
    // behind a NAT router or firewall.
    ftp.SetPassiveUseHostAddr(true)

    // The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
    // on port 990.  Do not set it to true.  The Inovis VAN
    // uses explicit encryption (SSL/TLS).
    ftp.SetSsl(false)

    // The Chilkat FTP component automatically sends a "FEAT";
    // command after connecting.  This allows the component
    // to better know the FTP server's capabilities.
    // The Invois server doesn't recognize the FEAT command,
    // so disable it:
    ftp.SetAutoFeat(false)

    // Connect, convert to TLS, and login to the FTP server.
    success := ftp.Connect()
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(ftp.LastErrorText())
        ftp.DisposeFtp2()
        return
    }
    else {
        // LastErrorText contains information even when
        // successful. This allows you to visually verify
        // that the secure connection actually occurred.
        fmt.Println(ftp.LastErrorText())
    }

    fmt.Println("Connection to Inovis EDI VAN OK!")

    // Do whatever you're doing to do ...
    // upload files, download files, etc...

    success = ftp.Disconnect()

    ftp.DisposeFtp2()
