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.

C

#include <C_CkSFtp.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkSFtp sftp;
    const char *remoteDir;
    const char *localDir;
    int mode;
    BOOL recursive;

    success = FALSE;

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

    sftp = CkSFtp_Create();

    success = CkSFtp_Connect(sftp,"my-ssh-server.com",22);
    if (success == TRUE) {
        success = CkSFtp_AuthenticatePw(sftp,"mySshLogin","mySshPassword");
    }

    if (success == TRUE) {
        success = CkSFtp_InitializeSftp(sftp);
    }

    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSFtp_lastErrorText(sftp));
        CkSFtp_Dispose(sftp);
        return;
    }

    // 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
    // TRUE, then the corresponding local directory is created for each remote directory
    // traversed regardless of whether files within are downloaded.
    CkSFtp_putSyncCreateAllLocalDirs(sftp,FALSE);

    CkSFtp_putSyncMustMatch(sftp,"*.eml; *.gif");

    remoteDir = "syncDownloadTest/someDir";
    localDir = "qa_output";
    mode = 0;
    recursive = TRUE;
    success = CkSFtp_SyncTreeDownload(sftp,remoteDir,localDir,mode,recursive);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkSFtp_lastErrorText(sftp));
        CkSFtp_Dispose(sftp);
        return;
    }

    // The following files were downloaded:

    // chiliPepper.gif
    // abc/chiliPepper.gif
    // data/chiliPepper.gif
    // data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
    // data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
