FTPS / Implicit SSL

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how to connect using implicit SSL on port 990. The FTP component connects using SSL on port 990, which is the de-facto standard FTP SSL port. Not all FTP servers support implicit SSL. An alternative is to use AUTH SSL (also called AUTH TLS). CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

ftp = chilkat.CkFtp2()

# If this example does not work, try using passive mode
# by setting this to True.
ftp.put_Passive(False)
ftp.put_Hostname("ftp.something.com")
ftp.put_Username("test")
ftp.put_Password("test")
ftp.put_Port(990)

# We don't want AUTH SSL:
ftp.put_AuthTls(False)

# We want Implicit SSL:
ftp.put_Ssl(True)

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != True):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()
else:
    # LastErrorText contains information even when
    # successful. This allows you to visually verify
    # that the secure connection actually occurred.
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())

print("FTPS Channel Established!")

# Do whatever you're doing to do ...
# upload files, download files, etc...

success = ftp.Disconnect()
