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

loFtp = createobject("CkFtp2")

loFtp.Hostname = "ftpssl.gateway.inovisworks.net"
loFtp.Username = "myLogin"
loFtp.Password = "myPassword"

// The Inovis EDI VAN requires Passive connections:
loFtp.Passive = .T.

// 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.
loFtp.AuthTls = .T.

// You'll probably need this property set to .T. if you're
// behind a NAT router or firewall.
loFtp.PassiveUseHostAddr = .T.

// The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
// on port 990.  Do not set it to .T..  The Inovis VAN
// uses explicit encryption (SSL/TLS).
loFtp.Ssl = .F.

// 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:
loFtp.AutoFeat = .F.

// Connect, convert to TLS, and login to the FTP server.
llSuccess = loFtp.Connect()
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
    release loFtp
    return
else
    // LastErrorText contains information even when
    // successful. This allows you to visually verify
    // that the secure connection actually occurred.
    ? loFtp.LastErrorText
endif

? "Connection to Inovis EDI VAN OK!"

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