(C) SFTP Upload - Synchronize Directory Tree

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to upload files to synchronize a local directory tree with a remote directory tree. The SyncTreeUpload method recursively descends a local directory tree and uploads files based on existence, last-mod date/time and/or size differences.

    // mode=2: Upload newer or non-existant files.
    // mode=3: Upload only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the server, it is not uploaded.
    // mode=4: transfer missing files or files with size differences.
