See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to download files in a directory matching one or more patterns (such as "*.zip" or "abc*_*0719.csv". B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim sftp As ChilkatSFtp
sftp.Initialize("sftp")

success = sftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com", 22)
If success = True Then
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin", "mySshPassword")

If success = True Then
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp
End If

If success <> True Then
    Log(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Return

'  The SyncTreeDownload method can be used non-recursively to download all files matching a set of patterns.

'  This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
'  that match *.csv and *.eml
sftp.SyncMustMatch = "*.eml; *.gif"

Dim remoteDir As String = "syncDownloadTest/someDir"

'  mode=0: Download all matching files according to SyncMustMatch
Dim mode As Int = 0

'  do not recursively traverse the remote directory tree.
Dim recursive As Boolean = False

success = sftp.SyncTreeDownload(remoteDir, localDir, mode, recursive)
If success <> True Then
    Log(sftp.LastErrorText)
    Return
