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.

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()

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(True)

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
if (success != True):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Change to the remote directory where the existing file is located.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("junk")
if (success != True):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 != True):
    print(ftp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

success = ftp.Disconnect()

# Display the entire session log:
print(ftp.sessionLog())

print("File Appended!")
