PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$ftp = New-Object Chilkat.Ftp2

$ftp.Hostname = "www.my-ftp-server.com"
$ftp.Username = "mFtpLogin"
$ftp.Password = "myFtpPassword"
$ftp.AuthTls = $true
$ftp.Passive = $true

# Connect and login to the FTP server using TLS.
$success = $ftp.Connect()
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($ftp.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$streamObj = New-Object Chilkat.Stream

# Indicate the charset of the incoming data.
$streamObj.StringCharset = "utf-8"

# Create a task to do the FTP download.
$t = $ftp.GetFileToStreamAsync("lines.txt",$streamObj)
if ($ftp.LastMethodSuccess -ne $true) {
    $($ftp.LastErrorText)
    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 -ne $true) {
    $line = $streamObj.ReadToCRLF()
    if ($streamObj.LastMethodSuccess -eq $true) {
        $($line)
    }

}
