FTP Set Remote File Date/Time Equal to Local File's Last-Modified Date/Time

See more FTP Examples

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.

JavaScript

var success = false;

// This example assumes Chilkat Ftp2 to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Ftp2 for sample code.

var ftp = new CkFtp2();

ftp.Hostname = "www.authtls-ftps-server.com";
ftp.Username = "FTP_LOGIN";
ftp.Password = "FTP_PASSWORD";
ftp.AuthTls = true;
ftp.Port = 21;

// Connect to the FTP server using explicit TLS (AUTH TLS).
success = ftp.ConnectOnly();
if (success == false) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Authenticate.
success = ftp.LoginAfterConnectOnly();
if (success == false) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// 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.
var fac = new CkFileAccess();
var dt = new CkDateTime();
var lastModTimestamp = fac.GetFileTimeStr("qa_data/hamlet.xml",0);
dt.SetFromTimestamp(lastModTimestamp);

success = ftp.SetRemoteFileDt(dt,"hamlet.xml");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(ftp.LastErrorText);

    return;
}

ftp.Disconnect();

console.log("Success.");
