(Visual Basic 6.0) FTP/SSL (AUTH SSL, TLS)

Demonstrates how to connect using AUTH SSL. By setting the AuthTls property, a secure FTP connection can be established using either SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0. The Chilkat component will automatically choose whichever is supported by the FTP server during the secure channel establishment. The FTP control port remains at the default (21). Upon connection, the channel is converted to a secure channel automatically. All control messages and data transfers are encrypted.

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

Dim ftp As New ChilkatFtp2

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.something.com"
ftp.Username = "test"
ftp.Password = "test"

' Establish an AUTH SSL secure channel after connection
' on the standard FTP port 21.
ftp.AuthTls = 1

' The Ssl property is for establishing an implicit SSL connection
' on port 990.  Do not set it.
ftp.Ssl = 0

' Connect and login to the FTP server.
Dim success As Long
success = ftp.Connect()
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print ftp.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
Else
    ' LastErrorText contains information even when
    ' successful. This allows you to visually verify
    ' that the secure connection actually occurred.
    Debug.Print ftp.LastErrorText
End If

Debug.Print "Secure FTP Channel Established!"

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

success = ftp.Disconnect()
