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

Chilkat.Ftp2 ftp = new Chilkat.Ftp2();

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com";
ftp.Username = "myLogin";
ftp.Password = "myPassword";
// Use explicit TLS
ftp.AuthTls = true;
ftp.Port = 21;

// For debugging, turn on session logging so we can examine what is sent by the server.

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

ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("AAWorkarea");

// Get the last-modified date/time information for the file "package.tgz"
Chilkat.CkDateTime dt = ftp.GetLastModDtByName("package.tgz");
if (ftp.LastMethodSuccess == false) {

Debug.WriteLine(dt.GetAsTimestamp(false));

// Show the session log so we can see the details of the date/time information sent by the server.
// This tells us what information is available.  Some FTP servers provide better and more accurate information
// than others.

Debug.WriteLine("---- Session Log ----");
Debug.WriteLine(ftp.SessionLog);

ftp.Disconnect();
