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.

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

$success = $false

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

$ftp = New-Object Chilkat.Ftp2

$ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
$ftp.Username = "login"
$ftp.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.KeepSessionLog = $true

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

# Change to the remote directory where the existing file is located.
$success = $ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($ftp.LastErrorText)
    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)
