(Go) 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.
