SFTP Download all Files in a Directory

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to download all files in a remote directory. This example uses the SyncTreeDownload method in a non-recursive mode that forces the download of all files, regardless of date/time or size differences. Delphi DLL

uses
    Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
    Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, SFtp;
