FTP Sync Upload Tree w/ Must-Match Filename Constraints

See more FTP Examples

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

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

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

        Ftp2 ftp = new Ftp2();

        ftp.setHostname("ftp.something.com");
        ftp.setUsername("my_login");
        ftp.setPassword("my_password");

        // Connect and login to the FTP server.
        try {
            ftp.connect();

            // Set the current remote directory to the root of
            // the tree to receive the uploaded files.
            ftp.changeRemoteDir("/subDir1");
        } catch (ChilkatException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getLastErrorText());
            return;
        }

        // Possible synchronization modes are:
        // mode=0: Upload all files
        // mode=1: Upload all files that do not exist on the FTP server.
        // mode=2: Upload newer or non-existant files.
        // mode=3: Upload only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the FTP server, it is not uploaded.
        // mode=4: transfer missing files or files with size differences.
        // mode=5: same as mode 4, but also newer files.

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

        // Imagine our local 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/
