(Perl) 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.

Chilkat Perl Downloads Perl Module for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

use chilkat();

# 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.something.com");
$ftp->put_Username("my_login");
$ftp->put_Password("my_password");

# 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 receive the uploaded files.
$success = $ftp->ChangeRemoteDir("/subDir1");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# 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/

$ftp->put_SyncMustMatch("*.eml; *.gif");
$mode = 0;
$success = $ftp->SyncRemoteTree("c:/temp/subDir1",$mode);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $ftp->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$success = $ftp->Disconnect();

# Show the files uploaded.
print $ftp->syncedFiles() . "\r\n";

# Output showing the files uploaded:

# chiliPepper.gif
# abc/chiliPepper.gif
# data/chiliPepper.gif
# data/xyz/dkimVerifyTest.eml
# data/xyz/emailForCreateDsn.eml
