SFTP Download Files Matching a Pattern

See more SFTP Examples

Demonstrates how to download files in a directory matching one or more patterns (such as "*.zip" or "abc*_*0719.csv". Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example requires 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
    }

    // The SyncTreeDownload method can be used non-recursively to download all files matching a set of patterns.

    // This example will download all files, but only those files having filenames
    // that match *.csv and *.eml
    sftp.syncMustMatch = "*.eml; *.gif"

    var remoteDir: String? = "syncDownloadTest/someDir"
    var localDir: String? = "qa_output"

    // mode=0: Download all matching files according to SyncMustMatch
    var mode: Int = 0

    // do not recursively traverse the remote directory tree.
    var recursive: Bool = false

    success = sftp.syncTreeDownload(remoteRoot: remoteDir, localRoot: localDir, mode: mode, recurse: recursive)
    if success != true {
        print("\(sftp.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Success.")
