(PowerBuilder) FTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Constraints

Demonstrates how synchronize a directory tree in the download direction, but only for files matching a set of wildcard filenames.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Ftp
integer li_Success
integer li_Mode

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

loo_Ftp = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Ftp2" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Ftp.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Ftp2")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Ftp
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

loo_Ftp.Hostname = "ftp.something.com"
loo_Ftp.Username = "my_login"
loo_Ftp.Password = "my_password"

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
li_Success = loo_Ftp.Connect()
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ftp.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ftp
    return
end if

// Set the current remote directory to the root of
// the tree to be downloaded.
li_Success = loo_Ftp.ChangeRemoteDir("/subDir1")
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ftp.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ftp
    return
end if

// Possible synchronization modes 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.

// This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
// that match *.gif and *.eml

// Imagine our remote 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/

// Indicate that we only want to create auto-create local directories (if needed)
// for the files that are actually downloaded.  If SyncCreateAllLocalDirs remains
// 1, then the corresponding local directory is created for each remote directory
// traversed regardless of whether files within are downloaded.
loo_Ftp.SyncCreateAllLocalDirs = 0

loo_Ftp.SyncMustMatch = "*.eml; *.gif"
li_Mode = 0
li_Success = loo_Ftp.SyncLocalTree("c:/temp/subDir1",li_Mode)
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Ftp.LastErrorText
    destroy loo_Ftp
    return
end if

li_Success = loo_Ftp.Disconnect()

// Show the files downloaded.
Write-Debug loo_Ftp.SyncedFiles

// Output showing the files downloaded:

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