// 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";

// To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to connecting:
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
ftp.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com";
ftp.SocksPort = 1080;
ftp.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin";
ftp.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword";
// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
ftp.SocksVersion = 5;
// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

// Connect and login to the FTP server.

// Change to the remote directory where the file is located.
// This step is only necessary if the file is not in the root directory
// for the FTP account.
