SCP Sync Tree Download

See more SCP Examples

Synchronize local and remote directory trees by downloading newer or missing files from the remote server. Rust

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

let ssh = chilkat::Ssh::new();

// Connect to an SSH server:

// Hostname may be an IP address or hostname:
let hostname = "www.some-ssh-server.com".to_string();
let port = 22;

if ssh.connect(&hostname, port).is_err() {
    println!("{}", ssh.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Wait a max of 5 seconds when reading responses..
ssh.set_idle_timeout_ms(5000);

// Authenticate using login/password:
if ssh.authenticate_pw("myLogin", "myPassword").is_err() {
    println!("{}", ssh.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Once the SSH object is connected and authenticated, we use it
// in our SCP object.
let scp = chilkat::Scp::new();

if scp.use_ssh(&ssh).is_err() {
    println!("{}", scp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let remote_root = "workspace/php".to_string();
let local_root = "c:/aaworkarea/scp/workspace/php".to_string();

// Download synchronization modes:
// 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.
let mode = 2;

// Sync the entire tree by using recursion.
let b_recurse = true;

if scp.sync_tree_download(&remote_root, &local_root, mode, b_recurse).is_err() {
    println!("{}", scp.last_error_text());
    return;
