// This example assumes the Chilkat FTP2 API to have been previously unlocked.
// See FTP2 Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Ftp2')
$ftp = new COM("Chilkat.Ftp2");

$ftp->Hostname = 'www.my-ftp-server.com';
$ftp->Username = 'mFtpLogin';
$ftp->Password = 'myFtpPassword';
$ftp->AuthTls = 1;
$ftp->Passive = 1;

// Connect and login to the FTP server using TLS.
$success = $ftp->Connect();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Stream')
$streamObj = new COM("Chilkat.Stream");

// Indicate the charset of the incoming data.
$streamObj->StringCharset = 'utf-8';

// Create a task to do the FTP download.
// t is a Chilkat.Task
$t = $ftp->GetFileToStreamAsync('lines.txt',$streamObj);
if ($ftp->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $ftp->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Start the task in a background thread.
$t->Run();

// Read the incoming text data using any of the streamObj Read methods.
// This example will read line-by-line.

while ($streamObj->EndOfStream != 1) {
    $line = $streamObj->readToCRLF();
    if ($streamObj->LastMethodSuccess == 1) {
        print $line . "\n";
