FTP Sync Upload Tree w/ Must-Match Filename Constraints

See more FTP Examples

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.

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Ftp
integer li_Mode
oleobject loo_St
integer li_NumFiles
integer i
string ls_RemoteFilename

li_Success = 0

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

loo_Ftp = create oleobject
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 receive the uploaded files.
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: 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/
