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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2")
set ftp = CreateObject("Chilkat.Ftp2")

ftp.Hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.Username = "login"
ftp.Password = "password"

' Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = ftp.Connect()
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Change to the remote directory where the file will be uploaded.
success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("temp")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' In this example, assume that a previous FTP upload failed,
' and the incomplete file (bigFile.zip) exists on the FTP server.
' You only need to set the RestartNext property to resume
' the upload.  When RestartNext is set, the next call
' to PutFile (or PutFileFromBinaryData, PutFileFromTextData)
' will automatically resume the upload from the point of failure.
' (The way it works is that the FTP component sends a "SIZE"
' command to the FTP server to find out how many bytes of
' the file already exist on the server.  It then begins
' uploading from that point.

' Note: After PutFile is called, the RestartNext property
' is automatically set to false.
ftp.RestartNext = 1

' Upload a file with restart.
localFilename = "bigFile.zip"
remoteFilename = "bigFile.zip"

success = ftp.PutFile(localFilename,remoteFilename)
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(ftp.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

success = ftp.Disconnect()

outFile.WriteLine("File Uploaded!")

outFile.Close
