(C# UWP/WinRT) SFTP Download all Files in a Directory

Demonstrates how to download all files in a remote directory. This example uses the SyncTreeDownload method in a non-recursive mode that forces the download of all files, regardless of date/time or size differences.

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

    success = await sftp.InitializeSftpAsync();
}

if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(sftp.LastErrorText);

// Download all the files from the remote directory "syncDownloadTest/xml"
// into our local directory "qa_output"
// Both directories are relative paths.  The remote directory
// is relative to the HOME directory of the SSH user account.
// The local directory is relative to the current working directory of the process.
// It is also possible to use absolute paths.
