FTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Constraints

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates how synchronize a directory tree in the download direction, but only for files matching a set of wildcard filenames.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

Local $bSuccess = False

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

$oFtp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Ftp2")

$oFtp.Hostname = "ftp.something.com"
$oFtp.Username = "my_login"
$oFtp.Password = "my_password"

;  Connect and login to the FTP server.
$bSuccess = $oFtp.Connect()
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oFtp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Set the current remote directory to the root of
;  the tree to be downloaded.
$bSuccess = $oFtp.ChangeRemoteDir("/subDir1")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oFtp.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

;  Possible synchronization modes are:
;  mode=0: Download all files
;  mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
;  mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
;  mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server..
;  mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
;  mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.

;  This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
;  that match *.gif and *.eml

;  Imagine our remote directory tree has these files and directories:

;  	accentedLatin1.txt
;  	accentedUtf8.txt
;  	alice.key
;  	anter_cert.pem
;  	chiliPepper.gif
;  	helloWorld.pdf
;  	abc/chiliPepper.gif
;  	abc/ghk/
;  	data/chiliPepper.gif
;  	data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
;  	data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
;  	data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
;  	text/frenchUtf8.txt
;  	text/helloWorld.txt
;  	text/PolishEmailBody.txt
;  	text/something/

;  Indicate that we only want to create auto-create local directories (if needed)
;  for the files that are actually downloaded.  If SyncCreateAllLocalDirs remains
;  True, then the corresponding local directory is created for each remote directory
;  traversed regardless of whether files within are downloaded.
$oFtp.SyncCreateAllLocalDirs = False

Local $iMode = 0
$bSuccess = $oFtp.SyncLocalTree("c:/temp/subDir1",$iMode)
