<?php

use Chilkat2\Ftp2;
use Chilkat2\StringTable;

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

$ftp = new Ftp2();

$ftp->Hostname = 'ftp.something.com';
$ftp->Username = 'my_login';
$ftp->Password = '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 (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// 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';

    $ftp->SyncRemoteTree('c:/temp/subDir1', $mode);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {

$ftp->Disconnect();

// Show the files downloaded.

// Output showing the files uploaded:

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