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. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let sftp = CkoSFtp()!

    success = sftp.connect(hostname: "my-ssh-server.com", port: 22)
    if success == true {
        success = sftp.authenticatePw(login: "mySshLogin", password: "mySshPassword")
    }

    if success == true {
        success = sftp.initializeSftp()
    }

    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        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.

    var remoteDir: String? = "syncDownloadTest/xml"
    var localDir: String? = "qa_output"
    // Mode 0 causes SyncTreeDownload to download all files.
    var mode: Int = 0
    // Do not recursively descend the remote directory tree.  Just download all the files in specified directory.
    var recursive: Bool = false
    success = sftp.syncTreeDownload(remoteRoot: remoteDir, localRoot: localDir, mode: mode, recurse: recursive)
    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Success.")
