Download Multiple Files Matching Pattern

See more FTP Examples

The MGetFiles method can be called to download all files matching a wildcarded filename pattern. Rust

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

let ftp = chilkat::Ftp2::new();

ftp.set_hostname("ftp.example.com");
ftp.set_username("myUsername");
ftp.set_password("myPassword");
ftp.set_port(21);
ftp.set_auth_tls(true);

// Connect and login to the FTP server.
if ftp.connect().is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Change to the remote directory where the files are located.
// This step is only necessary if the files are not in the root directory
// of the FTP account.
if ftp.change_remote_dir("qa").is_err() {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Download all files with filenames matching "*.txt";
// The files are downloaded into c:/temp/qa_output
let num_files_downloaded = ftp.m_get_files("*.txt", "c:/temp/qa_output");
if num_files_downloaded < 0 {
    println!("{}", ftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let _ = ftp.disconnect().is_ok();

println!("{} Files Downloaded!", num_files_downloaded);
