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

loSftp = CreateObject('Chilkat.SFtp')

lnSuccess = loSftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com",22)
IF (lnSuccess = 1) THEN
    lnSuccess = loSftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
ENDIF

IF (lnSuccess = 1) THEN

* Download all the files from the remote directory "syncDownloadTest/xml"
* into our local directory "qa_output"
* 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.

lcRemoteDir = "syncDownloadTest/xml"
lcLocalDir = "qa_output"
* Mode 0 causes SyncTreeDownload to download all files.
lnMode = 0
* Do not recursively descend the remote directory tree.  Just download all the files in specified directory.
