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

var ftp = new CkFtp2();

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com";
ftp.Username = "login";
ftp.Password = "password";

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect();

    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Set the current directory (on the FTP server) to the
// "orders" subdirectory.  When logging into an FTP account,
// current remote directory is automatically set to the
// home directory of the FTP account.  From the FTP client's
// perspective, it will be "/", but the absolute path on the
// FTP server might be something like "/home/ftp_users/".
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("orders");
