SFTP Upload - Synchronize Directory Tree

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload files to synchronize a local directory tree with a remote directory tree. The SyncTreeUpload method recursively descends a local directory tree and uploads files based on existence, last-mod date/time and/or size differences. Rust

let mut success = false;

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

let sftp = chilkat::SFtp::new();

success = sftp.connect("my-ssh-server.com", 22).is_ok();
if success {
    success = sftp.authenticate_pw("mySshLogin", "mySshPassword").is_ok();
}

if success {
    success = sftp.initialize_sftp().is_ok();
}

if !success {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Synchronize (by uploading) the local directory tree rooted at "qa_data/sftpUploadTree"
// with the remote directory tree rooted at "syncUploadTest"
// 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.

let remote_dir = "syncUploadTest".to_string();
let local_dir = "qa_data/sftpUploadTree".to_string();

// Possible modes that can be passed to the SyncTreeUpload method are:
// mode=0: Upload all files
// mode=1: Upload all files that do not exist on the server.
// mode=2: Upload newer or non-existant files.
// mode=3: Upload only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the 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 use mode 5 to upload missing, newer, or files with size differences.
let mode = 5;
// This example turns on recursion to synchronize the entire tree. 
// Recursion can be turned off to synchronize the files of a single directory.
let recursive = true;
if sftp.sync_tree_upload(&local_dir, &remote_dir, mode, recursive).is_err() {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}
