FTP Sync Download Tree w/ Must-Match Constraints

See more FTP Examples

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.

    -- 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.
