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

    sftp := chilkat.NewSFtp()

    success := sftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com",22)
    if success == true {
        success = sftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
    }

    if success == true {
        success = sftp.InitializeSftp()
    }

    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(sftp.LastErrorText())
        sftp.DisposeSFtp()
        return
    }

    // The SyncTreeDownload method can be used non-recursively to download all files matching a set of patterns.

    // This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
    // that match *.csv and *.eml
    sftp.SetSyncMustMatch("*.eml; *.gif")

    remoteDir := "syncDownloadTest/someDir"
    localDir := "qa_output"

    // mode=0: Download all matching files according to SyncMustMatch
    mode := 0

    // do not recursively traverse the remote directory tree.
    recursive := false

    success = sftp.SyncTreeDownload(remoteDir,localDir,mode,recursive)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(sftp.LastErrorText())
        sftp.DisposeSFtp()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Success.")
