(Delphi DLL) FTP Sync Upload Tree w/ Must-Match Filename Constraints

Demonstrates how synchronize a directory tree in the upload direction, but only upload files matching a set of wildcard filenames.

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

// Possible synchronization modes are:
// 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.
// mode=4: transfer missing files or files with size differences.
// mode=5: same as mode 4, but also newer files. 

// This example will upload all files, but only those files having filenames
// that match *.gif and *.eml

// Imagine our local 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/
