SFTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Directory Constraints

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how SFTP synchronize a directory tree in the download direction, but only entering directories matching a set of wildcard filenames.

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

;  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.

;  Only enter remote directories named either "data" or matching "x*"
$oSftp.SyncMustMatchDir = "data; x*"

;  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/

Local $sLocalDir = "qa_output"
Local $iMode = 0
Local $bRecursive = True

;  The following files were downloaded:
