Thanks for replying, Bill.
From where I see it, it looks more like a documentation bug. The
description of GetFileCreateTime is missing in other libraries, too (C++, Ruby, ...). It does not seem to be specific to VFP (or even to the ActiveX implementation).
Chilkat has excellent support; probably, it's a matter of pointing out the problem in the documentation.

Antonio,
(Asynchronous calls) Yep, that's where Chilkat's power resides.
What tipped me off was this - check this link. https://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatSFtpRef.html#method26 - it mentions "The same as GetCreateFileTime, except...". Scroll up. There's no documentation for GetCreateFileTime. Instantiate the SFTP object in the command window and display the properties/methods. The method is there.
From experience the GetCreateFileTime method will return a VFP DateTime
value.
Instantiate the Email object. The EmailDateStr is documented, EmailDate isn't. But you can immediately return the EmailDate property and it's a VFP DateTime value.
Things like that tell me Chilkat hid these for a reason. They still work, but they're decremented.

Bill,
- Chilkat decremented their VFP specific methods and properties so I
just
don't see why they would have an interest.
Could you elaborate a bit on this? I had the opposite feeling that
Chilkat
was going to lengths to provide functionalities that wouldn't usually be part of a VFP set, like asynchronous calls.
Thanks
António
