Download a directory tree from an FTP server, re-creating it on the local filesystem. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$ftp = chilkat::CkFtp2->new();

$ftp->put_Hostname("ftp.example.com");
$ftp->put_Username("test");
$ftp->put_Password("test");

# Connect and login to the FTP server.
$success = $ftp->Connect();
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Set the current remote directory to the root of
# the tree to be downloaded.
# success = ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("/something");
# if (success != cktrue) { 
# 	println ftp.LastErrorText;
# 	return;
# }

# Download the entire tree, recreating it at c:/temp/something
$success = $ftp->DownloadTree("c:/temp/something2");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$success = $ftp->Disconnect();
