Append Method

Append data from LocalFile to a RemoteFile on an FTP server.

Syntax

int Append();

Remarks

This method causes the server-DTP to accept the data transferred via the data connection and to store the data in a file on the server site. If the file specified in the pathname exists on the server site, then the data shall be appended to that file; otherwise the file specified in the pathname shall be created on the server site. Similar to the Upload method but the local file specified by LocalFile is appended to RemoteFile on the server as opposed to replacing it as done by the Upload method. RemoteFile is either an absolute path on the server, or a path relative to RemotePath. The server will create a file with that name if it doesn't already exist (similar to Upload). If there is no FTP session in place, one is automatically created by first calling the Logon method.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
