Synchronize Remote Directory Tree

See more FTP Examples

Uploads a directory tree from the local filesystem to the FTP server. Synchronization modes include:

mode=0: Upload all files
mode=1: Upload all files that do not exist on the FTP server.
mode=2: Upload newer or non-existant files.
mode=3: Upload only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the FTP server, it is not uploaded. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local ftp = chilkat.Ftp2.new()

ftp.hostname = "ftp.example.com"
ftp.username = "login"
ftp.password = "password"

-- Connect and login to the FTP server.
local success = ftp:connect()
if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)

-- Set the current remote directory to the root of
-- the tree where files are uploaded.

if not success then
    print(ftp.last_error_text)
