Using the FTP Session Log

See more FTP Examples

The Chilkat FTP component can keep a session log if the KeepSessionLog property is turned on. This is helpful in debugging problems. Chilkat support will usually ask for a session log when working to resolve your problem, because it contains a log of the exact commands sent to the FTP server, and the exact responses received. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$ftp = chilkat::CkFtp2->new();

$ftp->put_Hostname("ftp.example.com");
$ftp->put_Username("login");
$ftp->put_Password("password");

# Set the KeepSessionLog property in order to keep a session log.
# The session log will continuously grow in memory.  The
# ClearSessionLog method may be called to clear it.  The session
# logging may be turned on/off at any point.
$ftp->put_KeepSessionLog(1);

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
$success = $ftp->Connect();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Change to the remote directory where the existing file is located.
$success = $ftp->ChangeRemoteDir("junk");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# To clear the SessionLog at any point, call ClearSessionLog:
# call ftp.ClearSessionLog();

# Append moreHamlet.txt to hamlet.txt on the FTP server.
$localFilename = "moreHamlet.txt";
$remoteFilename = "hamlet.txt";

$success = $ftp->AppendFile($localFilename,$remoteFilename);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$success = $ftp->Disconnect();

# Display the entire session log:
print $ftp->sessionLog() . "\r\n";

print "File Appended!" . "\r\n";
