Upload Multiple Files Matching Pattern

See more FTP Examples

The MPutFiles method can be called to upload all files matching a wildcarded filename pattern from a local filesystem directory. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local ftp = chilkat.Ftp2.new()

ftp.hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.username = "my_login"
ftp.password = "my_password"

-- Connect and login to the FTP server.
local success = ftp:connect()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Change to the remote directory where the files will be uploaded.
-- for the FTP account.
success = ftp:change_remote_dir("junk")
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Upload all files with filenames matching "c:/temp/ftp_*.asp"
local numFilesUploaded = ftp:mput_files("c:/temp/ftp_*.asp")
if numFilesUploaded < 0 then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
    return
end

success = ftp:disconnect()

print(numFilesUploaded .. " Files Uploaded!")
