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

loSftp = createobject("CkSFtp")

llSuccess = loSftp.Connect("my-ssh-server.com",22)
if (llSuccess = .T.) then
    llSuccess = loSftp.AuthenticatePw("mySshLogin","mySshPassword")
endif

if (llSuccess = .T.) then

// Synchronize the remote directory tree rooted at "syncDownloadTest/xml"
// with the local directory tree rooted at "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.

lcRemoteDir = "syncDownloadTest"
lcLocalDir = "qa_output"

// Possible modes that can be passed to the SyncTreeDownload method are:
// mode=0: Download all files
// mode=1: Download all files that do not exist on the local filesystem.
// mode=2: Download newer or non-existant files.
// mode=3: Download only newer files. If a file does not already exist on the local filesystem, it is not downloaded from the server.
// mode=5: Download only missing files or files with size differences.
// mode=6: Same as mode 5, but also download newer files.
// mode=99: Do not download files, but instead delete remote files that do not exist locally.

// This example will use mode 6 to download missing, newer, or files with size differences.
lnMode = 6
// This example will turn on recursion to synchronize the entire tree. 
// Recursion can be turned off to synchronize the files of a single directory.
llRecursive = .T.
llSuccess = loSftp.SyncTreeDownload(lcRemoteDir,lcLocalDir,lnMode,llRecursive)
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loSftp.LastErrorText
    release loSftp

endif

// Examine the list of downloaded files.
// The downloaded files are listed one per line in the SyncedFiles property.
// Local directories that were created will be listed with a trailing "/" char.
lcFileList = loSftp.SyncedFiles
? lcFileList
? ""

// For example:

// data/
// chiliPepper.gif
// helloWorld.pdf
// alice.key
// anter_cert.pem
// text/
// accentedLatin1.txt
// accentedUtf8.txt
// abc/
// abc/chiliPepper.gif
// abc/ghk/
// text/something/
// text/PolishEmailBody.txt
// text/frenchUtf8.txt
// text/helloWorld.txt
// data/chiliPepper.gif
// data/xyz/
// data/xyz/dkimHtmlBody.txt
// data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
// data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml

// You could load the strings into a Chilkat string table..
