SFTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Filename Constraints

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how synchronize a directory tree in the download direction, but only download files matching a set of wildcard filenames.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loSftp
LOCAL lcRemoteDir
LOCAL lcLocalDir
LOCAL lnMode
LOCAL lnRecursive

lnSuccess = 0

* This example requires 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
    lnSuccess = loSftp.InitializeSftp()
ENDIF

IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loSftp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Possible synchronization modes are:
* mode=0: Download all files
* mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
* mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
* mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
* mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
* mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.

* This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
* that match *.gif and *.eml

* Imagine our remote directory tree has these files and directories:

* 	accentedLatin1.txt
* 	accentedUtf8.txt
* 	alice.key
* 	anter_cert.pem
* 	chiliPepper.gif
* 	helloWorld.pdf
* 	abc/chiliPepper.gif
* 	abc/ghk/
* 	data/chiliPepper.gif
* 	data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
* 	data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
* 	data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
* 	text/frenchUtf8.txt
* 	text/helloWorld.txt
* 	text/PolishEmailBody.txt
* 	text/something/

* Indicate that we only want to create auto-create local directories (if needed)
* for the files that are actually downloaded.  If SyncCreateAllLocalDirs remains
* 1, then the corresponding local directory is created for each remote directory
* traversed regardless of whether files within are downloaded.
