SFTP Download all Files in a Directory

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to download all files in a remote directory. This example uses the SyncTreeDownload method in a non-recursive mode that forces the download of all files, regardless of date/time or size differences. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\SFtp;

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

$sftp = new SFtp();

try {
    $sftp->Connect('my-ssh-server.com', 22);
    $sftp->AuthenticatePw('mySshLogin', 'mySshPassword');

    $sftp->InitializeSftp();

    // Download all the files from the remote directory "syncDownloadTest/xml"
    // into our local directory "qa_output"
    // Both directories are relative paths.  The remote directory
    // is relative to the HOME directory of the SSH user account.
    // The local directory is relative to the current working directory of the process.
    // It is also possible to use absolute paths.

    $remoteDir = 'syncDownloadTest/xml';
    $localDir = 'qa_output';
    // Mode 0 causes SyncTreeDownload to download all files.
    $mode = 0;
    // Do not recursively descend the remote directory tree.  Just download all the files in specified directory.
    $recursive = false;
    $sftp->SyncTreeDownload($remoteDir, $localDir, $mode, $recursive);
