SFTP Download all Files in a Directory

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to download all files in a remote directory. This example uses the SyncTreeDownload method in a non-recursive mode that forces the download of all files, regardless of date/time or size differences. Rust

let mut success = false;

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

let sftp = chilkat::SFtp::new();

success = sftp.connect("my-ssh-server.com", 22).is_ok();
if success {
    success = sftp.authenticate_pw("mySshLogin", "mySshPassword").is_ok();
}

if success {
    success = sftp.initialize_sftp().is_ok();
}

if !success {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Download all the files from the remote directory "syncDownloadTest/xml"
// into our local directory "qa_output"
// Both directories are relative paths.  The remote directory
// is relative to the HOME directory of the SSH user account.
// The local directory is relative to the current working directory of the process.
// It is also possible to use absolute paths.

let remote_dir = "syncDownloadTest/xml".to_string();
let local_dir = "qa_output".to_string();
// Mode 0 causes SyncTreeDownload to download all files.
let mode = 0;
// Do not recursively descend the remote directory tree.  Just download all the files in specified directory.
let recursive = false;
if sftp.sync_tree_download(&remote_dir, &local_dir, mode, recursive).is_err() {
    println!("{}", sftp.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Success.");
