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.

Objective-C

#import <CkoFtp2.h>
#import <CkoStringTable.h>
#import <NSString.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoFtp2 *ftp = [[CkoFtp2 alloc] init];

ftp.Hostname = @"ftp.something.com";
ftp.Username = @"my_login";
ftp.Password = @"my_password";

//  Connect and login to the FTP server.
success = [ftp Connect];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Set the current remote directory to the root of
//  the tree to receive the uploaded files.
success = [ftp ChangeRemoteDir: @"/subDir1"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",ftp.LastErrorText);
    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/

ftp.SyncMustMatch = @"*.eml; *.gif";
int mode = 0;
success = [ftp SyncRemoteTree: @"c:/temp/subDir1" mode: [NSNumber numberWithInt: mode]];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",ftp.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = [ftp Disconnect];

//  Show the files downloaded.
CkoStringTable *st = [[CkoStringTable alloc] init];
[ftp GetSyncedFiles: st];

int numFiles = [st.Count intValue];
int i = 0;
NSString *remoteFilename = 0;
while (i < numFiles) {
    NSLog(@"%@",[st StringAt: [NSNumber numberWithInt: i]]);
    i = i + 1;
}

//  Output showing the files uploaded:

//  chiliPepper.gif
//  abc/chiliPepper.gif
//  data/chiliPepper.gif
//  data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
//  data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
