Upload Multiple FTP Files by Wildcard (MPUT)

See more FTP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Ftp2.MPutFiles method, which uploads each local file matching a pattern to the current remote directory. The only argument is the local pattern, which may include a directory and wildcard. It returns the number of files uploaded, or -1 on failure.

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.
