SFTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Directory Constraints

See more SFTP Examples

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

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

Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

Dim sftp As New ChilkatSFtp

success = sftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com",22)
If (success = 1) Then
    success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
End If

If (success = 1) Then
    success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
End If

If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print sftp.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' 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.

' Only enter remote directories named either "data" or matching "x*"
sftp.SyncMustMatchDir = "data; x*"

' 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/
