(Go) 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.

    // Connect to the FTP server using explicit TLS (AUTH TLS).

    // 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.
