Sync a Single FTP Directory Down to Local

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.SyncLocalDir method, which synchronizes files from the current remote directory into a local directory without descending into subdirectories. The first argument is the local root and the second is the download mode.

Note: The local paths are relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the paths appropriate to your own environment.

#  This is the single-directory (non-recursive) form of SyncLocalTree; it uses the same modes.
#    0 = all selected files
#    1 = files missing locally
#    2 = missing locally, or newer on the server
#    3 = only files that exist locally and are newer on the server
#    5 = missing locally, or a different size
#    6 = missing, different size, or newer on the server
#   99 = do not download; delete local... (see docs)
