Rust

Synchronize Local Directory Tree

See more FTP Examples

Downloads files from the FTP server to a local directory tree. Synchronization modes include:

mode=0: Download all files
mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server..
mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.
mode=99: Do not download files, but instead delete remote files that do not exist locally. Rust

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

let ftp = chilkat::Ftp2::new();

ftp.set_hostname("ftp.example.com");
ftp.set_username("login");
ftp.set_password("password");

ftp.set_keep_session_log(true);

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
if ftp.connect().is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Set the current remote directory to the root of
// the tree to be downloaded.
if ftp.change_remote_dir("/subDir1").is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Recursively download all non-existant and newer files.
let mode = 2;
if ftp.sync_local_tree("c:/temp/subDir1", mode).is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let _ = ftp.disconnect().is_ok();

// Display the session log.  
println!("{}", ftp.session_log());
