Download a directory tree from an FTP server, re-creating it on the local filesystem. Zig

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const ftp = try chilkat.Ftp2.init();
    defer ftp.deinit();

    ftp.setHostname("ftp.example.com");
    ftp.setUsername("test");

    // the tree to be downloaded.
